by 5 wickets
Guyana Amazon Warriors defeated the Barbados Tridents for the first time in Women’s Caribbean Premier League history, securing a fighting five-wicket victory on Sunday afternoon at Kensington Oval.
It was the final match of the league phase, with both teams hoping to win by a big enough margin to leapfrog table-toppers Trinbago Knight Riders. Despite failing to do so, both have advanced to the playoffs, where they will meet again on Wednesday at the same venue.
The winner will advance to the final, where they will face the Knight Riders the following day. Meanwhile, the other franchise in the tournament, Jamaica Empress, has been eliminated.
The Warriors’ victory was set up by their top order as they completed the highest successful run chase of the season and the second-highest overall, reaching their target of 159 for the loss of five wickets with an over to spare.
