Female WI cricket tournament: Barbados, Windward Islands record victories as T20 Blaze commences
The rivalry continues
Bowling for Guyana, Cherry Ann Fraser returned figures of 3-11, Ashmini Munisar’s figures were 2-11, Mandy Mangru’s were 2-13, Kaysia Shultz produced figures of 2-7, and Shenetta Grimmond took 1-8.
The see-saw encounter
However, as the wickets tumbled and the runs dried up, the Leeward Islands unit were forced on the back foot, and a T20 encounter soon became a Test match encounter as the Leeward Islands’ only hope was to ‘block out’ the rest of the deliveries and see how many runs they could add to their tally. In the end, they were restricted to 56-7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Many had expected the small total to be chased with ease, but the Leeward Islands ladies turned on the heat and applied the pressure early. Windward Islands soon found themselves from 10-1 to 27-3 at one point of the game it, and it looked as though the Leeward Islands had it in the bag. However, a few wides and no balls cost them some valuable runs despite the constant loss of Windward Islands’ wickets. The Windward Island ladies allowed their opponents to draw out the game, as they made a target of 57 runs seem as though they had to climb Mount Everest.
