Two-time defending champions Barbados Royals began their 2025 Massy Women’s CPL with a seven-wicket victory against home team Guyana Amazon Warriors at Providence last evening.
An unfinished 53-run stand between Player of the Match Chinelle Henry, who hit two fours and four sixes in her unbeaten 19-ball 37, and Georgia Redmayne, who made 33 not out from 29 balls with three fours.

The pair spurred the Royals to 140-3 in 17.2 overs, chasing a revised target of 137 from 18 overs.
Watched by a few more fans than on Saturday, the Guyana Amazon Warriors Women elected to bat in bright sunshine, on another good track and a fast outfield, and built a solid foundation.
Amy Hunter hit six fours in 33 while Realeanna Grimmond remained unbeaten on 61 with six fours and a six.
The openers added 53 for the first wicket, with Hunter’s boundary bringing up the 50 from 47 balls.
Sheneta Grimmond broke the partnership when she dismissed Hunter.

Stafanie Taylor (15), who top-scored with 45 in her last match, looked well set when she drilled a catch to cover off Aaliyah Alleyne at 97-2 after the first 10 overs had produced 66.
Laura Harris hit three sixes and a four in a cameo seven-ball 26 and dominated a 32-run stand with the well-entrenched Grimmond from only 11 balls.
Grimmond square-drove Alleyne for four to reach her 50 from 50 balls with five fours and a six before Harris missed a wild swipe and was bowled by Alleyne at 129-3 in the 17th over.
Skipper Shemaine Campbelle (3) did not last long as she departed at 137-4 while her Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club teammate Grimmond kept going.
The right-handed opener executed a blistering off-drive for a one-bounce boundary off Alleyne.

Dane van Niekerk (11) and Grimmond, who followed up her 33 against the Trinbago Knight Riders with an unbeaten half-century, saw the lady Warriors to 154-4.
Alleyne took 2-27 for the Bajan franchise, who got a firm foundation from their openers Chamari Athapaththu and Qiana Joseph.
With the score on 44, Joseph’s run-a-ball 22 with one four and two sixes, ended when she fell to off-spinner Ashmini Munisar.
The left-handed Sri Lankan Athapaththu steered West Indies pacer Cherry-Ann Fraser for back-to-back boundaries.
Fraser, who conceded five wides, was edged by Georgia Redmayne for four in an over that leaked 18 runs.
The 50 came up in the eight over before Athapaththu (29 with six fours) provided Munisar with her second scalp to leave the Royals 65-2, and after 10 overs the total was 73-2.
Courtney Webb joined Redmayne as the lights began to take effect and the 100 was posted in 14.3 overs.
Webb (6) departed at 87-3 as Chinelle Henry joined Redmayne. When play was halted at 120-3 in 16-1 overs due to a malfunction of the eastern lights, the Royals were ahead by two runs.
When play resumed 15 minutes later, the target was reduced to 137 from 18 overs, which meant the Royals needed 17 from 11 balls.
Henry and Redmayne finished the match with four balls to spare.
After a two-day break, the CPL matches resume on Wednesday.
