Leewards 106 for 9 (Boyce 51, Edwards 31, Munisar 4-15) beat Guyana 99 all out (Mangru 24, Grimmond 23, Edwards 3-1
by 7 runs
Leeward Islands earned their second win of the Cricket West Indies Women’s T20 Blaze when they defeated Guyana by 7 runs in the final Round 2 match-up at the Arnos Vale Playing Field on Thursday.
A half-century from Reniece Boyce, along with important contributions from captain Amanda Edwards with both bat and ball, trumped Ashmini Munisar’s four-for to hand the Leewards the win.
The evening’s encounter began with the dismissal of Qiana Joseph—adjudged out lbw to one that seemed to be heading down the leg-side from Plaffiana Millington for a second successive no-score. Followed by that of Shawnisha Hector (4), caught by Ashmini Munisar off her own bowling.
This brought Edwards to the crease, joining Boyce to share in a 49-run third-wicket partnership. Boyce (51) and Edwards (31) produced the only double-digit scores in the Leewards innings, which sputtered to a stop at 106 for 9 after losing 5 wickets for 11 runs in the final three overs.
