Guyana marked their first victory of the Cricket West Indies Colonial Medical Insurance Women’s Super50 with a 31-run win over the Leeward Islands in the third round at Enmore Community Centre Ground yesterday.
Under splendid sunshine, the Leewards won the toss and sent the hosts into bat who then posted 240-9 in their 50 overs. The hosts then limited the Leewards to 109 all out in 34.5 overs.
Guyana’s batting centred around teenage sensation, Shabika Gajnabi who smashed 78 from 109 balls. Her gutsy innings consisted of seven pulsating boundaries including a muscled pull shot through the mid-wicket boundary that brought up her half century from exactly 50 deliveries.
