ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) announces the return of exciting regional women’s cricket to St. Kitts with the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup regional tournament, showcasing the Caribbean’s premier female cricket talent.
The prestigious CG United Super50 Cup will unfold across three premier venues – the historic Warner Park, Conaree Cricket Centre and St. Paul’s Sports Complex – from February 24 to March 7, with matches beginning at 10am daily.
Defending champions Jamaica will face fierce competition from a stellar lineup including Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, Guyana, Windward Islands and hosts Leeward Islands. The tournament marks a crucial preparation phase in a landmark year for West Indies Women’s cricket.
This regional showpiece precedes an intensive international calendar for the West Indies Women, who look to build on their commanding ODI and T20I series victories against Bangladesh in St. Kitts last month.
CWI Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe expressed his excitement at the start of the tournament saying,
“We at Cricket West Indies are thrilled are to kick off this year’s CG United Women’s Super 50.”
“This tournament isn’t just a competition but a celebration of the incredible strides we’ve made in women’s cricket across the Caribbean. We are seeing phenomenal talent emerging from every corner of the region and watching these players battle it out on the field is going to be something special.”
“With our international tours on the horizon and the impending ODI World Cup coming up, the timing couldn’t be better to showcase the strength of West Indies women’s cricket. We are particularly excited for cricket fans in St. Kitts to see once again, some of our rising stars in action as the future of women’s cricket in the Caribbean looks brighter than ever.”
Last year’s tournament highlighted the depth of women’s cricket in the region even as rain-affected matches added an extra layer of difficulty.
Jamaica started strongly with a commanding 204-run victory over Barbados, powered by Stafanie Taylor’s impressive 99. Guyana established themselves as serious contenders with consistent performances, including a crucial win over Trinidad and Tobago where Ashmini Munisar claimed exceptional figures of 5/15.
The Windward Islands also made their mark with a thrilling two-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago thanks to Jannillea Glasgow’s decisive innings of 62.
Some notable individual performances also lit up the tournament, including Chinelle Henry’s remarkable 6/31 for Jamaica against the Windward Islands, Kycia Knight’s steady batting for Barbados which brought her three half centuries and Shemaine Campbelle’s aggressive batting displays for Guyana.
Cricket enthusiasts worldwide can catch every moment of the action at Conaree and St Paul through LIVE streaming on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel, while matches at Warner Park will be broadcast on ESPN Caribbean for regional viewers.
