CWI Women’s T20 Blaze 2025: Guyana make it three in a row with defeat of Barbados

Guyana’s senior women’s team have defeated their Barbados counterparts by four wickets on Monday night at the Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. In so doing, they have extended their impressive run in the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Women’s T20 Blaze by defeating various opponents in a match for the third time in a row.

Having won the toss, Guyana Women chose to field first; and their bowlers again excelled, restricting Barbados from scoring runs consistently throughout the innings. The only Bajan batters who managed to reach double figures were Kyshona Knight (20

off 27 balls) and Captain Trishan Holder (13 runs).
Barbados ended their 20-over innings at just 68 for 9, with Guyana’s Cherry-Ann Fraser and Shabika Gajnabi each taking one wicket, while Nyia Latchman and Sheneta Grimmond each took two.
Guyana made difficult work of a small target, but eventually got the job done in 18.2 overs of the game. Katana Mentore was the only batter to reach double figures, as she made 14 off 26 balls to lead her team to victory.
Shamilia Connell with 2 for 13 and Keila Elliott with 2 for 11 made the game competitive in the end, but were ultimately left disappointed with their overall team performance.
The Guyana women’s next encounter is against Trinidad and Tobago women at the Arnos Vale Playing Field in Kingstown on May 7th, 2025.
