Grimmond urges Guyana to ‘maintain consistency’ as maiden senior women’s title beckons

As the Guyana senior women’s team stands again within touching distance of securing a historic maiden Cricket West Indies (CWI) Women’s T20 Blaze title, assistant coach Clive Grimmond has underscored the critical need for the team to uphold the consistency that has been the bedrock of their impressive campaign.

Guyana will face defending champions Jamaica in the final today at 18:00 h local time at the Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Speaking to the News Room Sport, Grimmond emphasised the occasion’s significance. “To win the title on Sunday it will be the first time Guyana will win the senior title,” he stated.

He attributed the team’s stellar run heading into the final to collective effort and adherence to strategy. “The key so far is that everyone is playing the role; we just have to continue and be consistent.”

The Guyanese unit has displayed formidable form throughout the tournament, their only blemish in the preliminary phase being a loss to their final opponents, Jamaica.

However, their overall performance saw them finish at the top of the standings, a testament to their consistent play.

Grimmond also highlighted the positive atmosphere within the squad. “The vibe in the team is so good right now at training session and in the games,” he added, suggesting a confident and cohesive unit ready to take on the challenge.

A victory in today’s final would mark a significant milestone for Guyana women’s cricket. It would be their first senior regional title after they came close in previous editions of the tournament.

Having navigated the preliminary stage with four wins out of five matches, including crucial victories that secured their top spot, Guyana will look to turn the tables on Jamaica in this decisive encounter and etch their name in the history books.
