Guyana Women record one-run win against Leewards in Super50 tournament
Shabika Gajnabi made 49 and took two wickets
Guyana Women have recorded a one-run win against the Leeward Islands in the third round of the Regional Women’s Super50 tournament in St Kitts and Nevis.
Guyana Women were asked to bat first, and they posted 167-9 in 50 overs, while Leewards made 166-8 in 50 overs. Guyana’s top-order again failed to fire. Number five batter Shabika Gajnabi made 49 from 61 balls to revive Guyana’s innings. She was supported by Kaysia Schultz who made 25, Ashmini Munisar (18) and Plaffianna Millington (16), which took Guyana to that score.
Tonya Martin had 4-36 in her 10 overs to restrict Guyana. Amanda Edwards made a solid 74 from 124 balls, which had 11 fours, but her knock went in vain. Shenata Grimmond had 3-26 in 10 overs, while Millington had 2-26 and Gajnabi claimed 2-31 in a disciplined effort.
Guyana will play Jamaica on May 15 in their fourth-round match from 10:00h.
