Walters steers South/ Central to victory

Walters, who was instrumental in Sunday’s win for the Red Force Divas against Barbados in the Regional Super50 final in St Vincent, again produced a match-winning performance.

She registered an unbeaten 84 and later captured three wickets for 12 runs as the South/Central team restricted North-East to 96 for 9 in their allotted 20 overs.

Walters and national junior captain Reniece Boyce had earlier shared a solid 51-run first wicket partnership before Boyce was run out for 18 via the combination of Aliyah Joseph and Karishma Ramharack who dislodged the bails. Playing before an appreciative crowd, Walters batted right through the innings as South/ Central amassed 127 for five in 20 overs.

She stroked eight fours in her entertaining innings. Ramharack emerged as North/ East’s leading bowler with two wickets for 14 runs off four overs while skipper Anisa Mohammed took one for 29 from four overs.

North/East were 52 for two in 9.2 overs in their reply but spintwins Kamara Ragoobar and Walters combined to wrest the initiative for their team and prised out three wickets each.

Ragoobar, bowling the leg-spin variety, claimed three for 18 from four overs while Walters, bowling offspin, enhanced her reputation as a dependable all-rounder by taking three wickets for 12 runs over her four overs.
