The ECCB noted that one commer- cial bank in the sub-region has imposed a monthly fee that would prevent small depositors from earning on their depos- its. Earlier this year, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) announced an EC$25 monthly fee on saving accounts. EECB Governor Timothy Antoine said that bank fees and charges, are creating a negative inter- est rate for small depositors, which is of concern to the monetary council. He said that it could have an effec- tive negative interest rate for a depositor who has less than EC$15,000 a year in deposits or less than EC$10,000 a year where in fact by virtue of what “you are receiving on the interest and what you’re actually in a negative position, Atkinson shines in Rio you are losing money, not earning.” Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson competes in a semifi nal of the women’s 100-meter breaststroke during the swim- ming competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.
