Barbados Women’s bid to win the Regional Super50 Cup ended in bitter disappointment when they slumped to a seven-wicket defeat to Trinidad and Tobago in the final at Warner Park in St Kitts on Friday.Sent in, Barbados were bundled out for a dismal 71 off 29 overs with only Asabi Callender with a top score of 28 off 64 deliveries showing any enterprise. In fact, she was only one of two players in double figures and the only one to pass 15.The Barbadians found themselves undermined by a potent Trinidadian spin attack, veteran former West Indies off-spinner Anisa Mohammed leading the way with three for 17 from seven overs.Karishma Ramharack finished with two for 12, more importantly claiming the wickets of the in-form Knight twins, Kycia and Kyshona, while fellow off-spinner Samara Ramnath (2-20) and seamer Amrita Ramtahal (2-5) also picked up two wickets each.In reply, Trinidad and Tobago reached their target in the 24th over with 21-year-old West Indies batsman Djenaba Joseph top-scoring with 28 from 63 balls.“I think as a team we probably feel a little heartbroken,” Barbados captain Aaliyah Alleyne said afterwards.“I think we came so far but we weren’t competitive enough today and I think that was what was more disappointing about today.”
