The two teams which started off the Courts Women’s T20 Grand Slam Franchise Tournament as underdogs, will meet in the playoff eliminator tonight from 7pm at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, for a chance in the final.
LCB Contractors Central Sharks, who finished second on the points table, will meet Trident Sports Phoenix who finished third. The both teams played each other on Wednesday night, with the Sharks getting the better of Phoenix by seven wickets. Both teams got off to rough starts in the tournament, losing their first two matches. Sharks’ first match vs TECU Southern Titans was called off due to a wet outfield, and they proceeded to lose their next two matches. They rebounded however and won all three of their second round matches. Similarly, Phoenix lost their first two matches but rebounded to win their next three before going down to the Sharks on Wednesday night.
Over at the National Cricket Center (NCC), Couva, TECU Southern Titans defeated the defending champions, UDECOTT North Starblazers by 77 runs to knock them out of the competition, as they remained on 4 points and thus at the bottom of the four-team table.
At BLCA, Phoenix were inserted by Sharks skipper, Anisa Mohammed and went about building a decent total of 142 at the end of their 20 overs, despite a superb spell of bowling from Samantha Bissoon who picked up all four of the wickets to fall in the innings. However, steady, pivotal contributions from skipper Stacy Ann King (34), Rosalie Dolabaille (28) and Bajan, Kycia Knight (27) were enough to get them to what seemed like a defendable total.
In reply, Sharks started slowly, as openers Felicia Walters and Canadian Achini Perera struggled to get the ball away, but their patience paid off and despite losing Perera for 8 off 13 balls and Bissoon shortly after for 5, WI wicket-keeper batswoman, Shemaine Campbell paired up with Walters to provide the stability the Sharks desperately needed.
Walters top scored with 71, and was run out only in the final over while Campbell was 47 n.o when the winning run was struck by Akaze Thompson, with a ball to spare. The win put the Sharks on 7 points while Phoenix stayed on 6 from their three wins.
At NCC, Titans skipper, Britney Cooper smashed an unbeaten 92 to send the defending champions, Starblazers packing and out of the competition. Starblazers were the only team in a must win situation at the start of the 6th and final round and Titans ensured that their hopes of reaching the playoffs for a shot at defending their title would be no more.
Thanks to Cooper, Titans amassed a massive total of 191 for 5 at the end of their 20 overs. Cooper’s 92 came off of 59 balls, which was way out of the reach of the Lee-ann Kirby led Starblazers. Kirby herself would lead from the front, top scoring with a valiant 34, but she found no support and her side was eventually bowled out for 114 in 15.1 overs.
