CG United Women’s Super50: Guyana thump Jamaica to secure third place

Guyana senior women’s cricket team secured a third- place finish in the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup on Friday after pummelling 2024 champions Jamaica by 82 runs in the third-place playoff.
At the Conaree Sports Club, Jamaica won the toss and opted to bowl first, allowing the Guyanese to accumulate 182-8 in their 50 overs.

Realeanna Grimmond was superb once again, hitting a stunning half century to put Guyana in the driver’s seat. Another failure from the top order resulted in Grimmond doing the hard yards as she hit 8 boundaries in her 71 off 126 deliveries.
Cherry-Ann Fraser later missed out on a half-century, slamming 47 in 61 balls. Captain Shemaine Campbelle pitched in with 21, while several single-digit scores got the Guyanese up to 182.
Neisha-Ann Waisome was the pick of the Jamaica bowlers, claiming 3-25 from 8 overs, while Roshana Outar snared 3 wickets for 27 runs in 10 overs.
Plaffiana Millington was once again stellar in the chase with the ball upfront, laying the foundation for Nyia Latchman’s eventual four-fer that sealed Jamaica’s fate.
Millington had a double strike in the 13th over, and followed that up by running out Chrishana McKenzie in the following over, giving Guyana the breakthrough needed.
Captain Rashada Williams top-scored for Jamaica with 27 off 39 balls, and Waisome pitched in with 21 off 31 deliveries to get Jamaica to an even 100 before being bowled out in 31.2 overs.
Latchman cleaned up Jamaica’s lower order to end with 4-15 off 5.2 overs, while Millington picked up 2-25 from 10 overs.
Trinidad and Tobago emerged champions of the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup, defeating Barbados by 7 wickets at Warner Park, also on Friday.
Trinidad and Tobago won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat first. They eventually routed Barbados for 71 in 29 overs. Trinidad and Tobago wasted little time in getting to 75-3 in 23.2 overs, thereby securing the victory.
