The Stafanie Taylor-captained Jamaicans won four of five matches to lift the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup which was scheduled from March 4-13.
They accumulated 24 points to finish ahead of Guyana (1
, Windward Islands (16), Barbados (14), Trinidad & Tobago (four), and Leeward Islands (two).
They completed the coveted double when they claimed the T20 Blaze, winning all five matches during the March 17-25 tournament.
They tallied 21 points, followed by Guyana (13), Trinidad & Tobago (nine), Leeward Islands (nine), Barbados (eight), and Windward Islands (four).
