CWI Women’s Rising Stars: Guyana U19 Women bounce back with 4-wicket win over Windwards
Tiea Isaacs’s all-round performance helped Guyana’s U19 women back to winning ways as they defeated the Windward Islands at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground in Trinidad and Tobago during their second game of the tournament.
Coming off a disappointing opening loss against Jamaica, Guyana were eager to open their win account at this year’s Cricket West Indies (CWI) Rising Stars Women’s U19 Championship. The Windward Islands U19 women won the toss and elected to bat first.

Isaacs led the attack brilliantly as she picked four wickets for a mere 15 runs during her spell. Trisha Hardat and Danellie Manns supported her well, as they both claimed two wickets to help bowl out Windward Island for a total of 72.
Amaih Gilbert (14) and Devona Tyson (13) were the only two batters that reached double figures for the batting side. In reply, the Guyanese side didn’t make light work of the target, as they lost wickets at regular intervals.
Crystal Durant top scored with 19 runs, but when she was run out, the Guyana camp was nervous, as their team was 43 for 6 after 17.5 overs. Isaacs held her nerve as she compiled a sensible innings of 16 of 25 balls. Her batting partner, Hardat, played the supporting role as she made 6. Both batters would finish the game not out as the Guyana women reached their target score of 73 for 6 in 21.3 overs.
Guyana’s U19 women are scheduled to play their next match against Barbados on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at the National Cricket Centre in Couva, Trinidad.
