TECU Titans, Sacha Starblazers set for Courts Women T20 decider

This is the inaugural season with the four franchised teams and both TECU Southern Titans and Sacha Northern Starblazers have maintained their unbeaten streak and chalked up their second consecutive victory on Tuesday night to occupy the top two sports on four points each on the points table.

Former national all-rounder Samantha Bissoon was once again the outstanding player for TECU Titans which overpowered Kieron Pollard-owned KJ Sports Eastern Diamonds by seven wickets in their Second Round fixture at the Munroe Road Recreation Ground while Rachel Vincent led the way for Sacha Northern Starblazers who registered a comfortable 34-run victory in their Second Round encounter at the National Cricket Centre, Balmain, Couva.

Bissoon and Shenelle Lord once again combined to demolish KJ Sports Eastern Diamonds for a meagre 71 in 19.4 overs.

West Indies Women opener Hayley Matthews (17) and TT ’s Under-19 captain Reniece Boyce shared a 27-run first stand before Lord dispatched Boyce (eight) and skipper StacyAnn King (duck) in quick fashion.

Bissoon claimed the final wicket and finished with an impressive analysis of three wickets for 17 runs while Lord took 3/6.

Rosalie Dolabaille topscored for Eastern Diamonds with 19.

In reply, TECU Titans were paced to victory by left-handed opener Shania Abdool (23 not out) who hit three fours off 38 balls and featured in a 28-run third wicket stand with Bissoon who made 18 and was once again voted “Player of the Match” with her all-round performance.
