The women’s cricket team from Trinidad and Tobago has reached the final of the Women’s Super50 tournament, where they will face Barbados at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, on March 7 at 10 a.m. Their last preliminary match against Guyana ended in a no-result due to rain on March 5, effectively preserving their status ahead of Guyana due to a higher points tally.
Barbados secured their place in the final with an impressive nine-wicket win over the Leeward Islands. The spinners of the Trinidad and Tobago team consistently challenged opposing batsmen, with Amelia Khan leading a potent bowling attack. Their fielding was commendable, highlighted by Anisa Mohammed’s remarkable one-handed catch, which set the momentum for the team.
In the match against Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago’s bowlers excelled, reducing their opponents to a precarious position at 28/6 within 16 overs. Khan and left-arm spinner Steffie Soogrim each took two wickets, while captain Karishma Ramharack claimed three. Despite a 42-run partnership between Shabika Gajnabi and Ashmini Munisar, Guyana ultimately fell to 108 all out, with Gajnabi scoring 51 runs.
Trinidad and Tobago began their batting innings but faced early setbacks, losing two wickets for just 16 runs before rain interrupted play, leading to a no result. Likewise, the final round match between the Windward Islands and Jamaica also concluded in a no result due to weather conditions.
Fixtures for March 7 include the final between Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados at Warner Park at 10 a.m., with additional matches determining third and fifth place finishes between other teams.
The Trinidad and Tobago women’s cricket team has demonstrated resilience by advancing to the Women’s Super50 final after weather interruptions in their last match.
