Ashmini Munisar turned in a sterling all-round performance to hand Berbice Women a 99-run victory over Essequibo, who played two matches on the opening.
Qzel Sampson provided Essequibo with the breakthrough when she had opener Tia Henry (04) lbw before Realeanna Grimmond and Munisar put on 83 for the second wicket to steady the innings.
