00:09 the Kensington Oval. Sophie Devine and Suzy Bates gave the Amazon Warriors a
00:13 solid start. And well picked by Devine. Their partnership ended at 69 with Bates

00:29 had plenty to offer. Captain Stefani Taylor was caught
00:38 behind for 22. Ghana Amazon Warriors would eventually close on 166 for 2 with
00:48 Devine smashing this one to end it unbeaten on 103. Barbados Royals got a stand of
00:55 40 from openers Hayley Matthews and Gabby Lewis. Captain
01:04 Matthews at 23 while Lewis was the top scorer with 47. Later on Laura Harris
01:14 played a cameo which was crucial for Barbados. Harris made 30 of just 12
01:22 balls. When Harris was out it became 131 for 4 with 36 still required of 26 deliveries.
01:36 It eventually came down to 8 from 5 balls and this was Hammond for 4.
