Team Previews
Jamaica Women Preview (JW)
Jamaica Women come into this clash needing to regroup after a disappointing batting performance in their last match. Despite having a solid lineup, they managed only 65/9 in 20 overs against Trinidad and Tobago Women, losing by 5 wickets. The key player for them is all-rounder Chinelle Henry, who is both their top scorer (44 runs) and leading wicket-taker (3 wickets) in the tournament.
The batting unit has not clicked yet, with experienced names like Chedean Nation and Rashada Williams needing to shoulder more responsibility. The bowling attack, led by Vanessa Watts and Chinelle Henry, can contain opposition batters, but support from others like Neisha-Ann Waisome and Celina Whyte will be crucial.
If Jamaica Women are to bounce back in the LIW vs JW match, they must bat with more intent and apply pressure early with the ball.
Leeward Islands Women Preview (LIW)
Leeward Islands Women come into this match on a high after their commanding win over Barbados Women. They chased down 92 in just 13 overs thanks to dominant performances from Qiana Joseph (34 runs) and Shawnisha Hector (40 runs and 2 wickets). The team appears balanced with quality all-rounders and impactful bowlers.
Their top-order looks dependable, and the bowling attack, led by Davronique Maynard and Hector, has shown the ability to pick early wickets and restrict scoring. Joseph’s all-round contribution makes her a game-changer, and skipper Amanda Edwards has managed resources well on the field.
With better form and momentum, Leeward Islands Women look the more confident team ahead of the LIW vs JW showdown.
