Defending champions, Barbados women motored to the final of the CG Insurance women’s Super50 Cup after beating Trinidad and Tobago women by nine wickets yesterday at the National Stadium, Providence.
Trinidad won the toss and opted to bat after a late start and with rain hampering their innings, the twin island republic ladies reached 133 all out in 31.2 overs. Barbados then reached 137 for one in 30.2 overs with 16 balls remaining according to Duckworth Lewis and Stern Method.
Barbados’ chase was once again piloted by their captain, Hayley Matthews who finished on an even 50 not out from 86 balls. The right-handed opener struck two boundaries during her second half-century in three innings and added 61 for the opening wicket with Kycia Knight who made 32 from 50 balls while hitting three boundaries before being dismissed by Leandra Ramdeen.
