Shabika Gajnabi

Shabika Gajnabi followed up her 152 in the opening round with an unbeaten 90 to lead Rose Hall Town Metro to a 96-run win over New Amsterdam/Canje and win the Berbice Cricket Board/ Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club/ Nand Persaud Company Limited female 50-over competition  Sunday.

Early morning showers forced the match to be reduced to a 20-over affair and RHT Metro, batting first, scored 149 for six and then limited the visitors to 53 all out.

The out-of-favour West Indies all-rounder, Gajnabi stroked six boundaries after coming to the crease in the first over with her side losing Marian Samaroo for duck at Area H. She was supported by Erva Giddings (17), Dian Prahalad (12) and Sherika Campbelle (10) while Tremayne Smartt bagged two for 14 for New Amsterdam/Canje.
