Guyana women reinforced their status as the dominant force in this year's Women’s T20 Blaze with an emphatic eight-wicket thrashing of Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday night to stretch their unbeaten run to four matches.
In a late contest under the Arnos Vale lights, Guyana turned the clash into a one-sided show, as they first dismissed Trinidad and Tobago for a paltry 35—the lowest team total of the tournament—before casually chasing the target down at 37-2 in just 6.3 overs.
Opting to bowl first on a tacky surface, Guyana unleashed a disciplined and destructive bowling performance, and Trinidad and Tobago simply had no answers. None of the Trinidadian batters reached double figures in what was their worst batting effort of the competition so far.
Sheneta Grimmond did the early damage, claiming three wickets for five runs in a probing spell that broke the spine of the batting lineup. Ashmini Munisar followed suit with an incredible return of two wickets for two runs from four overs, including three maidens—a rare feat in T20 cricket.
Plaffiana Millington also chipped in with 2-10 as she removed key batters Shunelle Sawh (eight) and Britney Cooper (four) early on. The rest of the line-up capitulated quickly, as wickets fell in a heap.
The modest chase presented little challenge for Guyana despite the early wickets of Realeanna Grimmond (three) and Mandy Mangru (six). Shabika Gajnabi and captain Shemaine Campbelle brought calm to the proceedings and knocked off the runs with a flurry of boundaries.
Gajnabi struck a breezy 14 not out off 13 balls, while Campbelle finished unbeaten on 13 from 11 balls, as both batters found the fence three times each.
The win consolidated Guyana’s lead atop the standings, while Trinidad and Tobago were condemned to their second defeat of the campaign.
