CMC – Trinidad and Tobago Women produced a horrendous batting display on their way to being crushed by Guyana Women by eight wickets in the Women’s T20 Blaze on Wednesday.
In an embarrassing performance, not a single batter scored in double digits as T&T Women were routed for just 35 in 14.3 overs at the Arnos Vale Playing Field.
Five players failed to trouble the scores and the nine extras conceded by Guyana were more than any individual score, with opener Shunelle Sawh top scoring with eight.
Guyana then easily overhauled their target, racing to 37 for two off 6.3 overs to claim a predictable victory.
There was no sign of the drama to come when T&T Women were 20 for one in the fifth over.
But Plaffiana Millington set things in motion by bowling Britney Cooper for four, before Sheneta Grimmond trapped Djenaba Joseph lbw for four and bowled Anisa Mohammed for a duck to leave the score 22 for four.
Four balls later it was 23 for five when Grimmond struck again, bowling Samara Ramnath for a duck.
None of the remaining batters scored more than three runs after that, as T&T Women unbelievably lost nine wickets for 15 runs.
Grimmond finished with 3-5, Ashmini Munisar took 2-2 and Millington 2-10.
Faced with a straightforward chase, Guyana Women started shakily, losing openers Grimmond and Mandy Mangru with just nine runs on the board.
However, Shabika Gajnabi finished on 14 not out and captain Shemaine Campbelle hit an unbeaten 13 to steer their side to victory.
