Campbelle, Munisar among stat leaders following end of CWI Women’s T20 Blaze
Kaieteur Sports – Guyana finished in second place, strong behind champs Barbados, while slightly dominating batting and bowling categories thanks to a few of their players, following a solid run in the recently concluded CWI Women’s T20 Blaze Cup played in St. Kitts.

Although Barbados followed up the 50-Over title win with the T20 Blaze Cup in their possession, Guyana, who were tied on 16 points alongside Barbados for their 2nd place spot, managed to churn out some individual performances which will likely carry on as they progress and gel their current squad.
Senior batter Shamaine Campbelle finished as Guyana’s leading run-scorer and one of 6 ladies to cross the 100-run mark, playing at least 4 games. The West Indies all-rounder ended 5th in run with 106 from 5 games played and a top score of 50*, also finishing the tournament as one of 4 women to make a half-century; capitalizing on her experience and class. With the gloves, Campbelle ended the T20 Blaze leading the tourney in dismissals (8).
Campbelle and her countrywoman Shabika Gajnabi also topped the stats chart for the highest partnership for the 3rd wicket, an unbroken stand of 100, which is also the only century partnership of the tournament. Veteran spinner Afy Fletcher of Windward Island ended with 10 wickets to head up the leading wicket-takers list, however Guyana still managed to land a few spots in the category as two of the bowlers managed to have good showings during the recently ended competition.
West Indies U19 skipper Ashmini Munisar finished 3rd with 6 wickets, 3 behind seasoned T&T spinner Anisa Mohammed who ended in 2nd place with 9 wickets; as the pair capped off the top three spots alongside Fletcher. Munisar, the off-break spinner, is one of 5 bowlers who concluded the competition with a total of 6 wickets, one being teammate Flaffianna Millington who occupied the 6th position.
Millington had been one of Guyana’s key pieces during the Super50 and transitioned nicely into the T20’s as her bowling and veteran presence allowed her fellow bowlers to work collectively with much success. Despite not winning the title, Guyana exhibited some late but good form as they won the majority of their matches in the T20 Blaze, following a topsy-turvy 50-Over competition.
The Guyanese women will be keen on capitalizing on their good form upon their return home where it is expected they will continue to put in work weekly as they further prepare for their calendar of activities both locally and overseas.
