The league stage of the Women’s CPL 2024 season came to a conclusion on Wednesday, August 28, with a match between Trinbago Knight Riders and defending champions Barbados Royals.
The Royals batted first and hammered 130/7 in 20 overs. Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu flogged an attacking 70 off 63 balls to top-score in the innings while no other batter managed to outscore Rashada Williams’ mere 12-run effort. For the Knight Riders, new-ball striker Shikha Pandey as well as Shamilia Connell and Samara Ramnath picked up two wickets each.
In response, Jemimah Rodrigues led Knight Riders run-chase with an imperative 59* from 50 balls. Coming to bat in just the second over of the innings, Rodrigues forged handy partnerships with Chedean Nation (14) and Kycia Knight (17) to steer her team to victory by four wickets in the final over of the match. Chamari Athapaththu, who belted 70 with the bat, further took two wickets for the Royals to cap a remarkable all-round performance for herself.
