The Guyana senior women’s cricket team etched their names into regional cricket history on Sunday night, capturing their first-ever Windies Cricket T20 Blaze title in a dramatic Super Over victory against defending champions Jamaica at the Arnos Vale Playing Field.

The final delivered edge-of-the-seat excitement as both teams finished their 20 overs locked at 122 for 5, forcing the championship into a tense Super Over showdown. Guyana, batting first in the one-over decider, managed a modest 8 runs for 1 wicket, with Realeanna Grimmond and Shemaine Campbelle holding their nerve under immense pressure.

Jamaica, needing nine to retain their crown, faltered in the face of disciplined Guyanese bowling. Chinelle Henry was dismissed for a duck, and Chedean Nation was run out for two, leaving Jamaica at 3 for 2 in their Super Over and handing Guyana a five-run victory.

Shemaine Campbelle led Guyana’s charge in regulation play with a captain’s knock of 54 from 47 balls. She was ably supported by Realeanna Grimmond, whose 46 anchored a crucial 86-run third-wicket partnership that kept Guyana in the hunt after early setbacks. Earlier, Guyana’s bowlers, particularly Nyia Latchman (2 for 11) and Ashmini Munisar (2 for 26), played pivotal roles in restricting Jamaica to a competitive but chaseable total.

Jamaica’s innings was anchored by Chedean Nation’s steady 35, with Abigail Bryce contributing an unbeaten 32 and Jodian Morgan adding 27. Their bowlers, led by Chinelle Henry (1 for 12) and Jodian Morgan (2 for 25), kept the contest tight, but Guyana’s resilience proved decisive.

The victory sparked jubilant celebrations among the Guyanese players and their supporters, marking a historic first T20 Blaze title and capping a tournament run defined by teamwork, composure, and a flair for the dramatic.
