HOSTS Jamaica hoisted the Cricket West Indies Regional Women's Twenty20 crown after putting in a dogged team effort to defeat Barbados by four runs in yesterday's nail-biting fifth and final-round match at Sabina Park.
Jamaica's Natasha McLean top-scored with 42, while Captain Stafanie Taylor, nursing a shoulder injury sustained in the fourth-round loss to Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, added 38 as the home side posted 108-5 from its allotted 20 overs.
Barbados medium pacers Deandra Dottin and skipper Shakera Selman claimed 2-19 and 2-24, respectively.
In reply, opener Hayley Matthews struck 30 for Barbados, but her demise left her teammates with too much to do and they were bowled out for 104 by a bubbly Jamaica unit.
Jamaica medium pacer Roshana Outar took 3-16.
Scores: Jamaica 108-5 (20 overs); Barbados 104 (20 overs).
Both teams ended with four wins for 12 points each, but Jamaica earned the nod thanks to the tournament guideline which utilises head-to-head record as the first tie-breaker.

Yes. To lose by a small margin is always unfortunate.

Not that difficult to comprehend.

Hope some Ja players get a game on the WI team. Last time Ja won a Regional Women competition only Taylor and Daley made the Regional side.
