TT women whip SVG in regional cricket

ST. GEORGE’S: Champions St. Lucia cruised to their second win when they defeated Jamaica by six wickets in the 2003 West Indies Women’s Cricket tournament on Friday.

West Indies player Nadine George spanked a half century to lead the St. Lucians past the Jamaican total of 102, while Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana also logged victories in the third round matches. St. Lucia had beaten North America on Tuesday in the only completed match before Friday. Trinidad and Tobago defeated St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) on a faster run rate in a rain-aborted match at Tanteen Recreation Ground. Sent to bat, SVG made 100 all out off 41.4 overs with West Indies players Juliana Nero (31) and Clea Hoyte (17) leading the way against Felicia Cummings (2-19) and Anisha Mohammed (2-22). West Indies players Brenda Solozano (22 not out), Shane DaSilva (16) and Nellie Williams (10) topped TT’s batting as they reached 76 for four off 28 overs. At Victoria Park, Guyana rolled over North America in a 62-run victory in a match reduced to 25 overs-a-side because of rain.
