GUYANA’S women’s cricket team showcased their batting prowess in their second Regional Women’s Super50 match, securing an impressive eight-wicket victory over defending champions Jamaica at St. Paul’s Complex in St. Kitts.

Realeanna Grimmond led the charge with an unbeaten 72 off 131 balls, while Mandy Mangru contributed a solid 60 off 114 deliveries.
Together, they constructed a pivotal 109-run partnership for the second wicket, effectively steering Guyana towards a successful chase of Jamaica’s 176.

This win came as a much-needed boost for Guyana, who had narrowly lost their opening match against Barbados by 11 runs.

Batting first, Jamaica struggled to build momentum, managing just 175 runs in 47.4 overs. Chedean Nation (32) and Neisha-Ann Waisome (29) provided some resistance, but the Guyana bowlers were relentless, with Plaffiana Millington claiming 3 wickets for just 16 runs, and Shabika Gajnabi taking 2 for 27.

With this victory under their belt, Guyana is set to take on the Leeward Islands today at Warner Park, starting at 10:00h.
