West Indies Under-19 player Realanna Grimmond’s all-round performance led Berbice to a comfortable nine-wicket victory over Demerara to lift the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Women’s Inter-County Super50 title.

The Super50 title followed their victory in the T20 format on March 31 to make it another year where Berbice have showed their supremacy in women’s cricket in Guyana.

In the third and final round between Demerara and Berbice played at GCC, Bourda, Demerara limped to 58 all out off 32.3 overs after winning the toss and deciding to bat. Tilleya Madramootoo once again top-scored with 21 to follow the 65 she scored in the first match against Essequibo at Everest. Sarah Amin was the only other batter to score double figures (13). Omadevi Matadin led the way with the ball for Berbice with figures of 3-5 off four overs. Ashmini Munisar (2-6), Shaneta Grimmond (2-11) and Realanna Grimmond (2-21) were the other bowlers to put the clamp on the Demerara batters.

Realanna, a talented West Indies Under-19 opening batter, then led Berbice’s reply with an unbeaten 29 as the Berbice batters only needed 15.3 overs to get to their target for the loss of just one wicket. Grimmond’s performance followed up her Player-of-the-Match performance of 55 in the T20 final last week against Demerara.

At the presentation ceremony after the game, Realanna Grimmond, in addition to copping the Player-of- the-Match award, was recognised for having the most runs in the T20 tournament (80), Trisha Hardat, the most wickets (5). Tilleya Madramootoo won the most runs award (86) for the Super50 tournament while Ashmini Munisar was the leading wicket taker with six wickets.

The women will now focus on preparation for this year’s women’s regional tournament which will commence on May 7, 2023, in St Kitts and Nevis.
