Two centuries feature in women’s cricket

Two centuries highlighted last Saturday’s lone match of the Women’s 40-Over Competition at the London Playing Field.

Responsible for the healthy run scoring were two former West Indies players, Juliana Nero and Cordel Jack.

Nero slammed 14 fours and 5 sixes in her knock of 146, as she bolstered Garifuna Stars’ innings of 270. Nyasha Williams contributed 47.

Bowling for United Survivors Laverne Homer had 2 for 42 and Samantha Lynch, 2 for 47.

Jack then raised her triple figures, as she racked up 107. Jack’s innings contained 8 fours and 8 sixes and Homer chimed in with 47, but United Survivors packed it in at 218.

Williams and Nero showed their all-round abilities, as they took 3 for 33 and 2 for 38, respectively, as Garifuna Stars won by 52 runs.

Persons close to women’s cricket have stated that it is the first time a century was scored on either side in a national women’s cricket competition.
