Jess Jonassen’s Trinbago Knight Riders lose to Barbados Royals in WCPL 2024 clash
Jess Jonassen’s efforts with the ball ended in vain as Trinbago Knight Riders lost to Barbados Royals in the WCPL 2024 match.

The middle order also failed to deliver but Shikha Pandey (30 off 34) and Zaida James (22 off 18) stood tall to take the team past the three-figure mark.
Captain Hayley Matthews, Amanda-Jade Wellington, and Chinelle Henry bagged two wickets apiece for Barbados.
In response, the Royals chased the target with 17 balls and seven wickets to spare. Skipper Matthews stayed unbeaten on 67 runs off 56 balls, hitting 12 boundaries. Qiana Joseph. Aaliyah Alleyne and Laura Harris also chipped in with scores of 16 (19), 11 (16), and 14* (7), respectively.
