The Women's Caribbean Premier League 2024 season resumed on Sunday, August 25, after a two-day gap with a match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders. Played at the iconic Brian Lara Stadium, the Knight Riders batted first and conjured 128/8 from 20 overs.
Captain and opening batter Deandra Dottin top-scored with 53 off 38 balls and shared a 66-run partnership with fellow opener Harshitha Samarawickrama (18 off 18). Shikha Pandey also chipped in with a handy 25 at the backend of the innings.
Shabnim Ismail, Karishma Ramharack and Erin Burns took two wickets each for the Warriors. In the run-chase, they lost both openers cheaply inside the powerplay to Zaida James and Jannillea Glasgow.
Burns at number four led the Warriors’ counterattacking response and cracked her second successive half-century of the tournament. However, some tight bowling, coupled with a runout from Pandey in the final over ensured the match ended in a tie.
The Knight Riders prevailed in a one-sided Super Over to open their account on the Women's CPL 2024 points table.
