In the opening game of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL), Barbados Royals defeated Guyana Amazon Warriors by one wicket. In a low-scoring affair, the Hayley Matthews-led side managed to remain calm and deliver. The skipper led by example with her 61 runs and two wickets and that should give her plenty of confidence ahead of playing Trinbago Knight Riders on August 23.

Trinbago meanwhile signed Jemimah Rodrigues and Shikha Pandey ahead of the new season. They failed to qualify for the finals in the last edition of the competition, which would fuel them to do better this time around. They have built a strong squad with the likes of Deandra Dottin, Meg Lanning, Anisha Mohammed, and Jess Jonassen in the mix and have all the talent in the world to challenge for the title.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad will offer assistance to the spinners. It’s usually sluggish in nature and will be difficult for the batters to score. The toss won’t matter much but in T20 cricket, chasing is what each team prefers and that might continue. 

Head-to-Head Record

TKR-W vs BR-W Probable Playing XI

Trinbago Knight Riders Women:

Meg Lanning, Kycia Knight (wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deandra Dottin (c), Kyshona Knight, Jess Jonassen, Anisa Mohammed, Zaida James, Shikha Pandey, Shamilia Connell, Samara Ramnath.

Barbados Royals Women:

Hayley Matthews (c), Rashada Williams (wk), Laura Harris, Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Georgia Redmayne, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Shabika Gajnabi, Qiana Joseph, Cherry Ann Fraser.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews

Barbados Royals captain Hayley Matthews played an impactful knock in the opening game. She made the difference with the bat as Barbados picked up a close win. The West Indies international will aim to keep up with the momentum and play another crucial knock to make it two in two.

Probable Best Bowler: Jess Jonassen

Australia international Jess Jonassen can wreak havoc in the spin-friendly conditions of Trinidad. She will be making her debut in the WCPL but has success in all the other franchise-based tournaments in the world. Recently, in the Women’s Hundred, the 31-year-old picked up 12 wickets in eight matches at an economy of 6.62.
