PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Off-spinner Karishma Ramharack claimed an amazing eight-wicket haul to steer Trinidad and Tobago to a convincing eight-wicket victory over Windward Islands South in the opening round of the Regional Women’s Super50 here yesterday.
Playing at Gilbert Park, the Windward Islands were dismissed for a paltry 89, with the 20-year-old Ramharack finishing with eight for 23.

However, once Ramharack went to work on the innings, WI South lost their last nine wickets for just 38 runs to be bowled out for 89 in the 30th over.
In reply, T&T coasted to their target in the 27th over with Felicia Walters hitting a top score of 42 not out, coming off 78 balls with two boundaries.
