Guyana junior side sweep T&T’s U-19s 2-nil
By Sean Devers
Watched by an appreciative crowd at the Guyana National Stadium, Shanel Daley bowled impressively under pressure as West Indies Women won a one-over eliminator, after her useful all-round performance earned them a tie in regulation time in the fourth and final Twenty20 International against Pakistan Women under lights on Sunday night.
The left-handed Jamaican all-rounder, later named both Player-of-the-Match and Series, conceded just seven runs as the Windies
Women successfully defended a target score of 11 in the one-over eliminator.
The result meant West Indies Women won the four-match series 3-1, following a one-run win under the Duckworth-Lewis Method in the first T20I at Progress Park in Grenada, where they also won the second T20I by four wickets. Pakistan won the third T20I by five wickets on Saturday in Guyana.
Chasing 73 from their allocation of 20 overs, Daley seemed to put the hosts on track for victory, when she led all scorers in the match with 28 but she was one of three wickets West Indies Women lost for eight runs in the closing stages, as they were dismissed for 72 in regulation time.
This meant that the Windies Women took over the eighth place slot for the lowest totals in a completed innings in Women’s T20, only a few hours after condemning the Pakistanis to that indignity. Tremayne Smartt, who plays male first division cricket in Berbice for Bermine, was caught at point off Sadia Yousuf, looking to hit the winning run from the very last ball in regulation time.
Daley had 3-9 from four overs, after West Indies Women sent the visitors in to bat. Anisa Mohammed supported with two for 24 to finish the series with eight wickets to follow up her 14 from the four ODIs as no Pakistani batter reached 20.
The success for the West Indies Women in the T20I series comes on the heels of their 3-1 domination of the preceding One-Day International series played at Arnos Vale in St Vincent, where they won by the same margin.
And a Guyana Junior team, led by the big-hitting Akaze Thompson beat a Trinidad and Tobago under-19 side in both of their female friendly games played before the International encounter, winning by six wickets on Saturday and by 23 runs on Sunday.
Thompson, a senior National, smashed six fours from 40 balls in her attractive 56 while Kavita Yadram (18), Hema Singh (18), and Tashana Mentore (17) helped Guyana to 141-6 off 20 overs on Sunday.
Crystal Hanslal took 3- 25 for T& T, who crawled to 118- 8 when their 20 overs expired with Thompson grabbing 2- 34 and Yadram 2- 11.
Shanice Pascal (26), Hanslal (21) and Rackeal Bissoon (20) were the leading batting for the T&T girls.
