Hayley Matthews left top scored for Barbados Women with 74 not out

Barbados women moved one step closer to retaining their Cricket West Indies T20 Blaze title after beating their closest competition, Jamaica, by 25 runs yesterday at the National Stadium, Providence.

Batting first, the defending champions reached 129 for four from their full quota before restricting Jamaica to 104 for six by the time their overs expired and effectively handing them their first loss.

Barbados captain, Hayley Matthews showed she is a cut above the rest with an unbeaten 74 from 63 balls.
