Windward Islands Women – Team Preview
Windward Islands Women have finally broken their losing streak with a convincing 53-run victory over Leeward Islands Women. They are placed 5th on the points table with 1 win and 4 losses. The batting performance in their last match was led by Nerissa Crafton, who scored a vital 52 runs at the top. Jannillea Glasgow also chipped in with 27 runs, ensuring a solid start.
With the ball, Afy Fletcher continues to be a game-changer, picking up 4 wickets and rattling the opposition. Fletcher has been consistent throughout the tournament, and with 7 wickets, she’s the leading bowler for Windward Islands Women. If the top order clicks again and Fletcher maintains her rhythm, they could cause major problems for the Barbados side.
Barbados Women – Team Preview
Barbados Women are having a forgettable campaign, sitting at the bottom of the table with four straight losses. Despite having experienced campaigners like Kycia Knight and Shamilia Connell, they’ve failed to convert opportunities into results. In their last game against Jamaica Women, they were comprehensively beaten by 62 runs.
Naijanni Cumberbatch was the only standout with the bat, contributing 32 runs, but the rest of the lineup faltered. Keila Elliott has shown some spark with the ball, bagging 9 wickets in the tournament so far. However, the lack of support from other bowlers and the inconsistency in the batting department remain significant concerns.
