Regional Woman’s T20 cricket…Guyana continue unbeaten streak
The third round of matches of the Regional Women’s Twenty20 continued yesterday with four matches across two venues in Grenada and Guyana continued their winning ways with a third consecutive win by beating the host team by eight wickets.
Led by an unbeaten 29 by opener June Ogle Guyana reached 67-2 in 15.3 overs in reply to Grenada’s 67-7 off 50 overs at Progress Park in an afternoon clash.

Guyana are now through to the semi-finals. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Grenada were strangled and afforded very few opportunities to score.
They were in early trouble at 15/1 and never recovered throughout the innings. There were some small partnerships in between but the highest individual score of the innings came from Debbie Ann Lewis, who made 12. Aria Fortune and Rachel Cyrus both scored eight.
Phaffiana Millington had amazing figures for the Guyanese, taking three wickets for six runs from her four overs, including a maiden over. Erva Giddings and Joann Vansertima both had one wicket each.
Guyana made their chase quite easy with Ogle leading the way with her patient knock from 46 balls with just a solitary boundary. Shamaine Campbelle supported with a cameo 16 from 23 balls.
At Progress Park, Stafanie Taylor struck 61 runs from just 46 balls as Jamaica destroyed St Lucia to book their spot in the semi-finals of the Regional Women’s Twenty20 Tournament. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Jamaicans lost Natasha Mc Lean cheaply for 4.
But Taylor was joined by her West Indian teammate Shanel Daley and both batters set about laying down a solid score. They both took the attack to the St Lucian bowlers, ripping them apart. Taylor struck seven fours in her knock that lasted 59 minutes. At the other end, Daley was less aggressive but fed the strike over to her partner.
Daley struck two boundaries in her knock of 38 runs from 41 runs. In a match reduced to 15 overs a side, the Jamaicans had finished on a good score of 108/1, scoring at 7.2 runs an over. Their bowlers then took over the show.
The St Lucians tried to keep wickets in hand and though they succeeded to some degree, they weren’t keeping up with the ever-increasing Required Run Rate. The Jamaican bowlers bowled tightly. Natasha Mc Lean finished with 2-9 while Peta Gaye Hanson had 1-17.
St Lucia had batted out their 15 overs, but had fallen woefully short off their victory target, getting to 59/4 to lose by 49 runs.
At Tanteen a quick, unbeaten 20 runs from Shaquana Quintyne sealed a nervy Round III win for Barbados over Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, booking their spot in the semi-finals of the Regional Women’s Twenty20.
Saint Vincent & the Grenadines won the toss and elected to bat first but struggled to put an innings together. From 17/1, they lost wickets at regular intervals, eventually falling to 51/6. It took a 30-run partnership at the end between Sheree Ann John and Stacy Ann Adams to get SVG up to 81/6.
But the Bajans did themselves little favours in the last five overs as John ended on 15 and Adams on seven. It meant Barbados had contributed eight runs in extras to the partnership.
In their chase, Barbados also had a similar stumble. From 29/1, they fell to 50/6, meaning five wickets fell in the space of 21 runs. But Quintyne would rescue her team with a valiant knock of 20 from just 25 balls. She ran hard for her runs, striking no boundaries.
She found a good partner in Kyann Maynard who patiently batted at the other end, striking nine runs from 21 balls. John picked up 3-13 and Adams had 2-20 but their effort wasn’t enough to pull SVG from defeat as Barbados won by four wickets.
Trinidad and Tobago mauled Dominica by 10 wickets in the other match played yesterday.
