The target was then revised to 67 from 138 balls.
Mangru notched 19 from 52 balls, while the next best score came from Ashmini Munisar, 11 runs from 13 deliveries; as the Guyanese lost their wickets cheaply. The Guyanese women eventually got to their total, 67-6, in 22.4 overs, winning by 4 wickets with 32 balls to spare.
