Jemimah Rodrigues lifted Trinbago Knight Riders into the 2024 Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) final after a nerve-jangling four-wicket victory over Barbados Royals at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad.
Chasing 131 for a place in Thursday's final, Knight Riders were in big trouble at 43/3 before Rodrigues stepped up with an unbeaten 59 off 50 balls.
The Knight Riders needed six runs off the final over, but a calm Rodrigues hit Hayley Matthews for a boundary on the third delivery before a single on the next ball ensured their title dreams remained alive.
In what turned out to be a dress rehearsal for the final, Knight Riders were 43/3 but capitalised on sloppy fielding from Royals. Rodrigues received a life on 43 when Djenaba Joseph fumbled at short fine leg.
