In the fourth fixture of the Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL), Guyana Amazon Warriors secured a five-wicket victory over Trinbago Knight Riders with seven balls remaining, earning their spot in the 2025 final where they will face Barbados Royals.
“The result sees the Knight Riders rooted to the bottom of the table with a third defeat in a row whilst the Warriors go level on points with Barbados Royals, albeit having played one more match,” shared a WCPL press release.
According to the WCPL, the standout performer was Player of the Match, Stafanie Taylor, who took the wicket of Jess Jonassen with her bowling and contributed a measured 39 runs off 44 balls with the bat, helping to steady the run chase.
Trinbago Knight Riders chose to bat first after winning the toss at Providence Stadium. They experienced a steady loss of wickets, with Molly Penfold delivering an impressive spell of 4 wickets for 17 runs in her four overs, demonstrating both skill and economical bowling.
Jess Jonassen and Deandra Dottin provided resistance with scores of 51 and 31 respectively. Jonassen’s maiden WCPL half-century was a much-needed effort, but a total of 123 for 7 wickets still seemed somewhat modest.
Despite Realeanna Grimmond’s early dismissal, caught and bowled by Dottin, her in-form partner Amy Hunter responded with 27 off 31 balls. Taylor’s contribution was pivotal in bringing the Warriors close to victory, only to fall victim to Shikha Pandey with just a few runs needed.
The Knight Riders’ campaign has been disappointing, and they will aim for a consolation win in their upcoming match against the Royals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Warriors will face the Royals in a pre-final encounter on Sunday at the same venue.
