The 2024 Women's CPL (Caribbean Premier League) began on Wednesday, August 21, with a match between defending champions Barbados Royals and Guyana Amazon Warriors. In a low-scoring thriller, the Warriors batted first and scored just 118/9 in 20 overs. Number three batter Stafanie Taylor top-scored with 38 runs from 36 balls while none of the other players could outscore Shemaine Campbelle’s mere 16-run effort at number five.
For the Royals, spinners Hayley Matthews, Qiana Joseph, and Australian import Amanda-Jade Wellington chipped in with two wickets each in the innings. Fast bowler Aaliyah Alleyne broke through the Warriors with two top-order wickets and a lower-order scalp to bag figures of 3/21 from four overs.
Chasing 119, Barbados Royals slipped to 115/9 at one stage of the last over. Captain and opening batter Hayley Matthews held the innings together as she kept losing partners from the other end to Shabnim Ismail (4/16) and Erin Burns (1/25). Matthews eventually held on to her nerve to hit the winning runs with a ball and a wicket to spare and finished at an unbeaten 61 from 58 balls.
