BAS­SETERRE, St Kitts – Trinidad and To­ba­go Women trounced Bar­ba­dos Women by five wick­ets to hand them their first loss of this year’s CG Unit­ed Women’s Su­per50 Cup on Mon­day.

Mean­while, de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Ja­maica Women lost for the sec­ond time in four match­es, go­ing down by one wick­et in a thriller to the Lee­wards Is­lands Women, while Guyana Women were com­fort­able win­ners over the Wind­ward Is­lands Women by sev­en wick­ets.

At St Paul’s Sports Com­plex: Trinidad & To­ba­go spun a web around Bar­ba­dos Women’s bat­ters to reg­is­ter a cru­cial five-wick­et win over the tour­na­ment lead­ers.

En­ter­ing the round hav­ing won all three of their match­es, Bar­ba­dos pro­duced a for­get­table bat­ting per­for­mance to be rout­ed for just 76 in 40.5 overs.

T&T’s spin­ning quar­tet of Anisa Mo­hammed (3-12), Sama­ra Ram­nath (3-13), Kar­ish­ma Ramharack (2-15) and Steffie Soogrim (2-20) caused hav­oc, with four bat­ters be­ing dis­missed with­out scor­ing.

Twin sis­ters Kyshona Knight, who top­scored with 23 and Ky­cia Knight, who made 20, were the on­ly two Bar­ba­dos play­ers to score in dou­ble dig­its.

T&T Women were nev­er in any trou­ble dur­ing their run chase, and de­spite los­ing four wick­ets for 14 runs, they still eas­i­ly over­hauled down their tar­get, fin­ish­ing on 77 for five in 22 overs, with Djen­a­ba Joseph scor­ing an un­beat­en 27.

At Warn­er Park: The Lee­ward Is­lands Women pulled off an ex­cit­ing one-wick­et vic­to­ry over Ja­maica Women in a match that went down to the last over.

Chas­ing 254 for vic­to­ry af­ter Ja­maica Women post­ed a for­mi­da­ble 253 for nine from their 50 overs, the Lee­ward Is­lands were led by an un­beat­en 88 from Aman­da Ed­wards that pro­peled them to 257 for nine off 49.3 overs.

The Lee­ward Is­lands seemed head­ed for de­feat af­ter falling to 76 for four, but Ed­wards and Jahzara Clax­ton, who made 34, added 58 runs for the fifth wick­et to give them some mo­men­tum.

And when Clax­ton and Re­niece Boyce fell in quick suc­ces­sion to leave them per­ilous­ly placed at 145 for six, Ed­wards found a re­li­able part­ner in Kim­ber­ly An­tho­ny (37), dur­ing an 80-run part­ner­ship for the sev­enth wick­et.

Much was still need­ed when An­tho­ny fell to make the score 225 for sev­en in the 44th over, but Ed­wards, who faced 101 balls and struck sev­en fours and one six held her cool to see her team to safe­ty.

Ear­li­er, Rasha­da Williams scored 86 from 114 balls and Abi­gail Bryce made a run-a-ball 72, to put Ja­maica in a strong po­si­tion.

The pair added 82 for the fourth wick­et, which saw Ja­maica coast­ing at 201 for four at one point, un­til An­tho­ny grabbed five wick­ets in quick time to un­der­mine their ef­forts.

An­tho­ny fin­ished with 5-34, while Clax­ton and Ed­wards both grabbed two wick­ets.

At Cona­ree Sports Club: Guyana Women com­plet­ed a straight­for­ward run chase against the Wind­ward Is­lands Women to reg­is­ter a sev­en-wick­et win.

Off spin­ner Plaf­fi­ana Milling­ton took 3-27 and Cher­ry-Ann Fras­er (2-16), Ash­mi­ni Mu­nis­ar (2-18) pro­vid­ed good sup­port to help Guyana skit­tle out their op­po­nents for 97 in 38.1 overs.

Abi­ni St Jean and Hol­ly Charles top­scored with 17 runs, while Afy Fletch­er made 15 in a dis­ap­point­ing dis­play with the bat by the Wind­ward Is­lands.

Guyana then made light work of their tar­get, reach­ing 101 for three in 25 overs.

They were led by an un­beat­en 48 from Realean­na Grim­mond, while Shabi­ki Gajn­abi end­ed on 32 not out.
