Jamaica’s Ladies’s T20 Blaze group continued their unbeaten run with a commanding five-wicket victory over Guyana in St Kitts on Tuesday.
Led by former West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor and worldwide teammate Rashada Williams, Jamaica comfortably chased down Guyana’s goal of 108 with 11 balls to spare.
Guyana, opting to bat first, struggled early on earlier than Mandy Mangru and captain Shemaine Campbelle stabilized their innings with a vital partnership. Mangru’s resilient 36 and Campbelle’s composed 33 guided Guyana to a complete of 107 for seven from their allotted 20 overs.
Williams and Taylor rescued their innings
In response, Jamaica discovered themselves in the same scenario at 27 for 2 earlier than Williams and Taylor rescued their innings with a significant 68-run partnership. Williams top-scored with 42, whereas Taylor contributed a quickfire 33 to steer Jamaica in direction of victory. Regardless of a quick scare when Taylor and Williams fell in fast succession, Jamaica’s center order held agency to safe the win.
With this victory, Jamaica sits atop the standings with 9 factors, sustaining a four-point lead over second-placed Leeward Islands. Trinidad and Tobago observe carefully in third place, whereas Guyana occupies the fourth place with 4 factors.
