Trinidad and Tobago Women Dominate Barbados Women in CG United Women’s Super50 Cup
For the second time in the space of four days, Trinidad and Tobago Women’s spinners completely dominated Barbados Women to register a convincing seven-wicket win and lift the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup here at Warner Park on Friday.
The spinning quartet of Anisa Mohammed, Amrita Ramtahal, Karishma Ramharack, and Samara Ramnath bundled out Barbados Women for a paltry 71 in 21 overs before T&T romped to 75 for three in 23.3 overs to complete the lopsided victory.
The result should not have been that surprising, as it was almost a carbon copy of their preliminary matchup on Monday, in which T&T dismissed Barbados for 76 on their way to a five-wicket win.
Despite losing the early wicket of Kycia Knight for a duck, there was nothing to indicate that Barbados Women would collapse so drastically when Asabi Callender and Trishan Holder were at the crease rebuilding the innings.
The pair carried the score to 38 for one before Anisa Mohammed struck to dismiss Holder for 15, one of only two batters to get into double digits.
And even when skipper Karishma Ramharack got rid of the dangerous Kyshona Knight for one, the match was still in the balance as Callender and Naijanni Cumberbatch carried the score to 60 for three.
But in a dramatic turn of events, Barbados Women lost their last seven wickets for the addition of a mere 11 runs as their batters failed to come to grips with T&T’s spinners.
Cumberbatch was caught and bowled by Ramnath for seven, captain Aaliyah Alleyne was needlessly run out for a duck, and Ramtahal trapped Callender lbw for the top score of 28 to leave Barbados Women 61 for six.
Ramnath then dismissed Shamilia Connell for one. Ramtahal accounted for the wicket of Keila Elliott for a duck, and Mohammed wrapped up the innings by claiming the wickets of Shanika Bruce and Allison Gordon.
Mohammed finished with 3-17, Ramtahal took 2-5, Karishma Ramharack 2-12, and Samara Ramnath 2-20.
Trinidad and Tobago Women then strolled to their target with slight alarm. They lost opener Shunelle Sawh for nine with the score on 21, but Djenaba Joseph and Britney Cooper steadied the innings in a 41-run partnership.
By the time Cooper (17) and Joseph (28) lost their wickets, Trinidad and Tobago Women were well on their way to victory, with Lee-Ann Kirby ending the match in fine style by hitting Elliot for a six.
Conclusion
Trinidad and Tobago Women’s spinners proved to be the decisive factor in their convincing win over Barbados Women, as they showcased their impressive skills and skillfully restricted the opposition to a meager 71 runs. The result marks the second time in four days that T&T has dominated Barbados, and it is clear that the team’s spinners are a force to be reckoned with.
