Jamaica score second win in Women Super 50
ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) — Aggressive middle order batsman Deandra Dottin roared to a century to hand Barbados their first win, a commanding 235-run victory over host Grenada in the second round of matches in the West Indies Women Super 50 on Wednesday.
Dottin blasted her way to 103 runs as Barbados, who lost their opening match against Trinidad and Tobago by two wickets on Monday, amassed 303 runs for nine wickets at the La Sagesse playing field.
She put her typical power hitting on show by tearing into the Grenadian bowlers hitting eleven fours and three sixes while Pamela Levine, not to be left out, struck six boundaries in a supporting scored 55.
Dottin’s century was the second in the tournament after Guyana’s June Ogle’s unbeaten 104 in Guyana’s win over Dominica on Monday.
Afy Fletcher with three for 41 and Rackel Williams two for 69 were the pick of the local bowlers.
Danielle Small and Shaquana Quintyne destroyed the Grenadian batting as the hosts were all out for 67 runs.
Small grabbed four for 21 and Quintyne three for 20.
At Progress Park, Stefanie Taylor missed her century by four runs but lifted Jamaica to their second victory, a 102- run win over Guyana.
Taylor cracked 14 fours to reach 94 runs in 102 balls before Jamaica were dismissed for 233 runs.
Shemaine Campbelle was the top Guyana bowler with four for 34.
Meantime, Trinidad and Tobago coasted to an eight- wicket win over St Vincent and the Grenadines at the Tanteen playing field.
The Vincentians were bowled out for 12 in 41.4 overs despite a half-century from Juliana Nero.
