– defeat Yarrowkabra in thrilling match

A look at Yarrowkabra batting
Annadale chose to bat first after winning the toss, and amassed a respectable 130 runs without loss of wicket.
Mahadevi Dass, a member of the Guyana schoolgirls squad during last year’s West Indies Women’s Windball competition, hit a strong 71 that included seven sixes; and Shanya Macey supported with a solid 46-run innings.
Yarrowkabra batted superbly in reply, but ultimately ended up scoring one run short of victory. Their innings ended at 129 for 1.
Region 4’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Saann Patterson blasted an unbeaten 85 that included 11 sixes, and V Jandoo contributed 15, but it wasn’t enough, and the team disappointingly had to settle for second best.
Dass, with figures of 1 for 17, picked up the lone wicket to fall for Yarrowkabra.
