GEORGE­TOWN, Guyana - Trinidad and To­ba­go romped to their sec­ond con­sec­u­tive win when they over­hauled Lee­ward Is­lands’ pal­try 76 to win by four wick­ets at the George­town Crick­et Club, yes­ter­day in round two of the Women’s Su­per50 Cup Tour­na­ment.

Off-spin­ners Le­an­dra Ramdeen (4-12) and Kar­ish­ma Ramharack (3-23) set up T&T’s win be­fore open­er Fe­li­cia Wal­ters, who played two ODIs two years ago, for­malised the re­sult with an un­beat­en 32.

How­ev­er, the match of the day's pro­gramme was played at the Guyana na­tion­al Sta­di­um where West In­dies cap­tain Stafanie Tay­lor struck her third re­gion­al one-day hun­dred but first in five years to negate She­maine Camp­belle’s, as Ja­maica re­pelled a strong chal­lenge from hosts Guyana to pull off a six-wick­et win.

Asked to chase a de­mand­ing 243 at Ever­est af­ter Camp­belle had stroked 111 – al­so the third cen­tu­ry of her ca­reer – Ja­maica over­hauled the tar­get with 20 balls to spare, with the ex­pe­ri­enced Tay­lor carv­ing out 119.

Twen­ty-two year-old open­er Rasha­da Williams stroked a pa­tient 47 while Windies bats­man Chedean Na­tion chipped in with a breezy 30 off 39 de­liv­er­ies.

Fast bowler Er­va Gid­dings, who end­ed with three for 39 from her 10 overs, set back Ja­maica ear­ly when she bowled West In­dies bats­man Natasha McLean with­out scor­ing off the sec­ond ball of the in­nings with­out a run on the board.

How­ev­er, Tay­lor took com­mand of the in­nings, hit­ting 16 fours and a six off 118 de­liv­er­ies in adding 119 for the sec­ond wick­et with Williams and a fur­ther 81 with Na­tion for the third wick­et.

At the Na­tion­al Sta­di­um, Bar­ba­dos flexed their mus­cle in crush­ing Wind­ward Is­lands by 241 runs, to al­so post their sec­ond straight win.

Sent in, they piled up a record 334 for three off their 50 overs – their high­est-ever to­tal in the his­to­ry of the mod­ern do­mes­tic cham­pi­onship – with West In­dies stars De­an­dra Dot­tin (94 not out), Hay­ley Matthews (91) and Ky­cia Knight (81) all get­ting half-cen­turies.

In re­ply, Wind­wards were bun­dled out for 93 in the 29th over, with Windies fast bowler Shamil­ia Con­nell snatch­ing three for 36 and her reg­u­lar new-ball part­ner, Shak­era Sel­man claim­ing two for 12.

Afy Fletch­er top-scored with 23 be­fore re­tir­ing hurt.
