Barbados Royals conquered Trinbago Knight Riders by four wickets in the final of the 2024 Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad.
Soon to be crowned Player of the Tournament Hayley Matthews won the toss and chose to insert the opposition and the Royals captain herself struck a vital blow early on, bowling the dangerous Deandra Dottin for just six runs with a lovely ball that zipped off the wicket and onto the stumps. Chinelle Henry then held a smart return catch to dismiss Jemimah Rodrigues, leaving the Knight Riders struggling on 10/2 inside three overs.
Jannillea Glasgow and Shikha Pandey steadied the ship, facing 31 balls each for 24 and 28 runs respectively but the Knight Riders fell from 53-3 in the eleventh over to 75-8 in the 17th.
