The Guyanese-based squad, Combined Forces, won the toss and opted to field first. Hibiscus Women Cricket Club struggled to constantly rotate the strike and find the boundaries as they were bowled out for a mere 62 in 14.5 overs. Sherica Campbell was the only batter who reached double figures, as she scored 16.
Tilleya Madramootoo led the bowling attack as she picked 2 wickets for 4 runs in her 3 overs. Varuni Pitamber and Captain Yonette Welcome also picked up 2 wickets apiece.
Zaheera Mohit’s figures of 2 for 10 and Rosemary Samaroo’s 1 for 12 weren’t enough, as the Combined Forces reached their target score in 13 overs.
Naomi Barkoye top scored with 18 off 31 balls, while fellow opening batter Crystal Durant made 15.
Madramootoo’s solid innings of 10 saw the hosts home; they reached 63 for 4.
Combined Forces and Hibiscus are scheduled to play once again on August 12.
