The Barbados Tridents Women faced a challenging contest at the Kensington Oval, succumbing to Guyana Amazon Warriors Women by seven wickets. Despite a promising start from Maddy Green, the Tridents were unable to defend their total.
A measured innings of 30 from Maddy Green helped the Tridents post 69/3 in 8 overs. However, Tazmin Brits led the chase splendidly for the Warriors with a robust 35-run knock.
The Tridents' innings began on a shaky note with the quick dismissal of Kiran Navgire in the 4th over. Hayley Matthews and Maddy Green forged a partnership, but Matthews was run out in the 6th over after scoring 22.
Maddy Green held anchor for the Tridents, contributing a vital 30 off 16 balls, stepping on the gas at crucial junctures. Her innings included three boundaries and one maximum.
Erin Burns was instrumental for the Warriors, claiming the wickets of Navgire and affecting the run-out of Matthews, disrupting the Tridents' rhythm at key moments. Burns' economical figures of 2 for 11 helped stifle the scoring.
In response, the Warriors went after the target aggressively from the outset. Tazmin Brits and Shemaine Campbelle joined hands in a crucial 51-run partnership, taking advantage of the early powerplay to bring the chase well within reach.
Shawnisha Hector provided an early breakthrough for the Tridents by dismissing Eboni Brathwaite cheaply in the first over. However, this did little to deter the Warriors' aggressive pursuit.
