T&T crick­eters will go af­ter a sec­ond win in the Re­gion­al Women's Su­per50 Cham­pi­onships when it faces the Lee­ward Is­lands at Bour­da, George­town, Guyana, to­day from 9.30 am.

The na­tion­al team pulled off an easy vic­to­ry over Guyana in its open­ing match on Sun­day at the Guyana Na­tion­al Sta­di­um, Prov­i­dence. Re­niece Boyce scored an un­beat­en half-cen­tu­ry to help T&T to a 69-run vic­to­ry.

Boyce fin­ished on 65 not out and got good sup­port from Saman­tha Bis­soon who was un­beat­en on 35 and Sta­cy Ann King who made 28.

At one stage Guyana was cruis­ing at 72 for one be­fore suf­fer­ing a dra­mat­ic mid­dle or­der col­lapse which saw them ca­pit­u­late to be all out for 152.

T&T need­ed an un­bro­ken 64-run stand for the eighth wick­et be­tween Boyce and Bis­soon to get them up to their even­tu­al tar­get af­ter they had slumped to 157 for sev­en.

While Boyce was pa­tient dur­ing her 90-ball knock, Bis­soon was more ag­gres­sive, strik­ing five bound­aries in her 29-ball in­nings. Their late hero­ics al­lowed T&T to clear 200 and post a for­mi­da­ble to­tal.

In their run chase, Guyana lost five wick­ets for on­ly 18 runs, to col­lapse from the com­fort of 72 for one to 90 for six. Fe­li­cia Wal­ters and Anisa Mo­hammed were the main de­stroy­ers, with each claim­ing three wick­ets to quick­ly turn the con­test in­to a lop­sided vic­to­ry for T&T.

In oth­er match­es to­day, Bar­ba­dos will take on the Wind­ward Is­lands, Guyana Na­tion­al Sta­di­um while Guyana meets Ja­maica at the Ever­est Crick­et Club Ground in George­town.

GEORGE­TOWN, Guyana - Trinidad and To­ba­go romped to their sec­ond con­sec­u­tive win when they over­hauled Lee­ward Is­lands’ pal­try 76 to win by four wick­ets at the George­town Crick­et Club, yes­ter­day in round two of the Women’s Su­per50 Cup Tour­na­ment.

Off-spin­ners Le­an­dra Ramdeen (4-12) and Kar­ish­ma Ramharack (3-23) set up T&T’s win be­fore open­er Fe­li­cia Wal­ters, who played two ODIs two years ago, for­malised the re­sult with an un­beat­en 32.

How­ev­er, the match of the day's pro­gramme was played at the Guyana na­tion­al Sta­di­um where West In­dies cap­tain Stafanie Tay­lor struck her third re­gion­al one-day hun­dred but first in five years to negate She­maine Camp­belle’s, as Ja­maica re­pelled a strong chal­lenge from hosts Guyana to pull off a six-wick­et win.

Asked to chase a de­mand­ing 243 at Ever­est af­ter Camp­belle had stroked 111 – al­so the third cen­tu­ry of her ca­reer – Ja­maica over­hauled the tar­get with 20 balls to spare, with the ex­pe­ri­enced Tay­lor carv­ing out 119.

Twen­ty-two year-old open­er Rasha­da Williams stroked a pa­tient 47 while Windies bats­man Chedean Na­tion chipped in with a breezy 30 off 39 de­liv­er­ies.

Fast bowler Er­va Gid­dings, who end­ed with three for 39 from her 10 overs, set back Ja­maica ear­ly when she bowled West In­dies bats­man Natasha McLean with­out scor­ing off the sec­ond ball of the in­nings with­out a run on the board.

How­ev­er, Tay­lor took com­mand of the in­nings, hit­ting 16 fours and a six off 118 de­liv­er­ies in adding 119 for the sec­ond wick­et with Williams and a fur­ther 81 with Na­tion for the third wick­et.

At the Na­tion­al Sta­di­um, Bar­ba­dos flexed their mus­cle in crush­ing Wind­ward Is­lands by 241 runs, to al­so post their sec­ond straight win.

Sent in, they piled up a record 334 for three off their 50 overs – their high­est-ever to­tal in the his­to­ry of the mod­ern do­mes­tic cham­pi­onship – with West In­dies stars De­an­dra Dot­tin (94 not out), Hay­ley Matthews (91) and Ky­cia Knight (81) all get­ting half-cen­turies.

In re­ply, Wind­wards were bun­dled out for 93 in the 29th over, with Windies fast bowler Shamil­ia Con­nell snatch­ing three for 36 and her reg­u­lar new-ball part­ner, Shak­era Sel­man claim­ing two for 12.

Afy Fletch­er top-scored with 23 be­fore re­tir­ing hurt.
