In a stunning reversal of fortunes, the Jamaica Women’s cricket team captured the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup title following a dramatic final round of matches in Kingstown, St Vincent. The Shane Brooks-coached squad, which entered the final competition day in fifth position, capitalized on a critical stumble by tournament leaders Windward Islands to seize the championship by the narrowest of margins.
The tournament’s outcome hinged on simultaneous matches that produced shifting standings throughout the final day. While Windward Islands suffered a defeat against Guyana Women, Jamaica delivered a commanding performance with an eight-wicket victory over the winless Leeward Islands Women. This dominant win secured vital bonus points that ultimately propelled Jamaica to 21 points in the final standings.
The final tournament table reflected an exceptionally competitive championship, with merely two points separating the top four teams. Windward Islands and Guyana Women finished tied on 20 points each, while last season’s champions Trinidad and Tobago Women placed fourth with 19 points despite defeating Barbados Women in their final match.
This victory marks Jamaica’s sixth overall Super50 Cup title and their first since the 2024 tournament. The dramatic ascent from fifth to first position in a single round of matches represents one of the most remarkable comebacks in the competition’s history, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the sport and the importance of bonus points in the championship format.
Barbados Women experienced the most significant drop in the standings, falling from second to fifth position after their defeat, finishing with 13 points. The Leeward Islands Women concluded the tournament without a victory, earning 7 points from their three matches.
