After three rounds of matches, the Leeward Islands and Barbados have maintained a perfect record in Cricket West Indies’ Women’s T20 Blaze. The Leewards cruised to a 4-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago in Saturday’s curtain-raiser of the triple-header at the Arnos Vale Playing Field in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Barbados then defeated the Windward Islands by 3 wickets before Guyana’s 4-wicket win over Jamaica in the evening contest. The Windwards and Jamaica are the only two teams yet to register a win.
Guyana 87 for 9 (Taylor 24, Williams 23, Munisar 3-11) beat Jamaica 88 for 6 (Campbelle 50*, Grimmond 14, Wilmott 2-17) by four wickets
