Windwards go to top with win; Barbados rout Guyana

Barbados registered their first win in this year's Regional Four Day Competition, beating Guyana by an emphatic 93 runs in Bridgetown on Monday.

Barbados dominated the match on all days, beginning with some solid batting on the first day. Captain Kirk Edwards led from the front with a composed 120 off 195 balls. A 164-run fourth-wicket partnership between Edwards and Jonathan Carter gave Barbados a platform for a substantial score and useful contributions from the lower order ensured that the hosts reached 367.

Women's Cricket World Cup: Australia beat West Indies in final

Ellyse Perry ripped through the West Indies top order to help Australia to a 114-run win in the Women's World Cup final in Mumbai.

With the Windies chasing 261, pace bowler Perry took a wicket in each of her first three overs to reduce the Caribbean side to 41-3.

Merissa Aguilleira and Deandra Dottin briefly threatened some fireworks, but after both fell to Lisa Sthalekar, West Indies limped to 145 all out.

Rachael Haynes (52) and Jess Cameron (75) had earlier made half-centuries for the Aussies, with some late-order hitting from Perry and Jodie Fields taking them to 259-7.
