Windwards Captain Afy Fletcher followed up 24 with 2-23 yesterday.

The final round of the Blaze Regional Women’s T20 tournament was contested yesterday at Providence with three matches and although defending Champions Jamaica will not retain their title they closed off with a seven-wicket win against Trinidad and Tobago while the Windwards beat the Leewards in the two games played during the day to leave the Leewards as the only team without a victory.
Jamaica responded to T&T’s 145-6 in 20 overs by reaching 146-3 from 18.4 overs as Chedean Nation clobbered 62 from 53 balls with seven fours and a six and featured in an unfinished 90-run fourth wicket stand from just 49 balls with Chenille Henry who hammered four fours and a six in a 21-ball 42.
When the Trini lasses batted, Britney Cooper top scored with 30 (4×4) from 27 balls and shared in a 45-run fourth wicket stand with her skipper Merissa Aguilleira who was run out for 10.
Cooper got support from Stacy Ann King (26) and took her runs tally to 183, while Rachel Vincent and Anisa Mohammed made 26 each with Mohammed being unbeaten.
In the afternoon game, Windwards defeated the Leewards by 11 runs after making 114-8 in 20 overs and dismissing the Leewards for 104-9 in 20 overs. Stacy Ann Adams who made 19 with a six and a four and Narrisa Crafton who hit a six and a four in 13, had given the Windwards a 35-run opening start before Crafton was stumped off Rozel Liburd in the 7th over.
Melissa Howard prised out Juliana Nero (1) and Adams in the space of a run to leave them 47-3.
Skipper Afy Fletcher scored 24 (4×4) from 18 balls before she was run out and along with Swayline Williams who also made 24, added 36 for the fourth wicket to steady the ship before Flectcher departed at 84-4.
Nobody else got into double figures before Williams was also run out as Amanda Edwards had 2-21 while Howard took 2-27 for the Leewards. Saneldo Willett top scored with 25 (1×4 2×6) while Edwards hit a six and a four in 18 but only Terez Parker (12) and opener Jamella McClure (10) of the other batsmen reached double figures.
Parker and Willett added 26 for the fifth wicket while Parker added 24 with Edwards for the sixth wicket but it was too little too late to give the Leewards their first win. Pearl Etienne had 3-14, while Fletcher followed up her 24 with 2-23 and Adams captured 2-13.
