Deandra Dottin’s cool head and power hitting saw Trinbago Knight Riders defeat Guyana Amazon Warriors in a pulsating encounter in the 2024 Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad.
A defeat would have been terminal for Dottin’s side but a last gasp Super Over victory win saw the Knight Riders get their first points on the board to keep their competition hopes alive.
Both sides scored 128 runs off their twenty overs to set up a tied match and a box office finish. Dottin top scored for the Knight Riders with 53 from 38 balls at the top of the order before a stutter in the middle overs was then rescued by valuable contributions from Shikha Pandey (25) and Kycia Knight (16).
The Warriors looked to have the run chase in hand. With Erin Burns playing a patient innings to score her second fifty in succession and with Shemaine Campbelle in support they needed a seemingly manageable 19 runs off the final three overs. Two quick run outs scuppered the Warriors chances with Burns and Chloe Tryon both caught short of the crease in the dying stages of the main game to take the match into a Super Over finish.
