The right-handed Grimmond, who has been in superb form this tournament, made a match-high 71 off 126 balls, an innings that included eight fours and led Guyana to 182-8.

Cherry-Ann Fraser made a brisk 47 off 61 (5x4s) and skipper Shemaine Campbelle chipped in with 26 off 45 (2x4s) in Guyana’s winning total. Neisha-Ann Waisome (3-25) and Roshana Outar (3-27) were the leading wicket-takers for Jamaica.

Latchman then snared 4-15 off 5.2 overs, ripping through Jamaica’s lower-order, after the impressive and consistent off-spinner Plaffiana Millington (2-25 off 10 overs) and medium-pacer Trisha Hardat (2-30 off five) rocked the top and middle order.

West Indies player Rashada Williams top scored with 27, while Waisome made 21.
