Veteran off-spinner Anisa Mohammed produced a spell for the ages as Trinidad and Tobago Women crushed Guyana Women in a one-sided encounter at the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup on Thursday, highlighting a day of compelling action across venues.
After winning the toss and opting to bat, Guyana suffered a dramatic collapse as Mohammed tore through their batting line-up with remarkable precision and control. She finished with stunning figures of 8 for 11 in 8.5 overs, dismantling Guyana for just 31 runs in 16.5 overs. The innings was marked by severe batting woes, with no batter reaching double figures and five ducks recorded on the scorecard.
Trinidad and Tobago had no difficulty in the chase. Samara Ramnath and Djenaba Joseph both remained unbeaten on 11, guiding their team to 32 for 1 in 11 overs and sealing a comfortable nine-wicket victory.
In another match, Leeward Islands Women fell narrowly short against Windward Islands Women despite a fighting effort with the bat. Qiana Joseph led the resistance with 44 from 54 balls, while Jahzara Claxton contributed 25, helping the Leewards to 125 in 34.5 overs. For the Windwards, Aldith Gasper claimed 3 for 28, while Jannillea Glasgow chipped in with two wickets.
The Windward Islands’ reply was anchored by a captain’s knock from Jannillea Glasgow, who struck six fours in an unbeaten 54 from 71 balls. The Windwards reached 126 for 7 in 34.1 overs, securing victory by three wickets in a composed chase.

Meanwhile, Jamaica Women edged out Barbados Women in a closely contested battle. Jamaica, after winning the toss, were bowled out for 132 in 41 overs, with Rashada Williams top scoring with 43. Support came from Chrishana McKenzie, who added 26, while skipper Stafanie Taylor contributed 23. Barbados bowler Naijanni Cumberbatch was the standout, returning figures of 4 for 23.
Barbados’ chase faltered despite Alisa Scantlebury’s top score of 43, as they were dismissed for 105 in 32.2 overs. Jamaica’s bowling attack proved decisive, led by Celina Whyte, who grabbed 5 for 18 in 7 overs, while Stafanie Taylor provided excellent support with four wickets.
Guyana Women will now look to regroup quickly after their heavy defeat as they prepare to face the Windward Islands on Saturday, January 31, hoping for a much-improved showing as the tournament continues.
