Debutant Empress steal it - Henry heroics after rain leaves 30 off 16 vs GAW


Jamaica Empress Women secured a thriller one-wicket win over Guyana Amazon Warriors Women via the DLS method in their debut WCPL 2026 match at Bridgetown on September 6, 2026. Guyana Amazon Warriors Women: 138/7 (20 overs) | Jamaica Empress Women: 136/9 (19/19 overs, Target: 132) | Result: Jamaica Empress Women won by 1 wicket (DLS method) Campbelle's Anchor Innings: Shemaine Campbelle scored 56 off 33 balls—her maiden WCPL half-century—and shared a 97-run partnership with Realeanna Grimmond (45) to rebuild Guyana Amazon Warriors from 7 for 2 up to 138 for 7. Empress' Strong Start & Spin Stumble: Meg Lanning provided a fast start with 31 off 21 balls during the powerplay, but Erin Burns (2 for 3) and the Warriors spinners squeezed the scoring rate in the middle overs to leave the chase delicately poised before a rain delay. Henry's Final-Over Heroics: Needing 17 off the final over against Warriors captain Chloe Tryon with nine wickets down, Chinelle Henry (41* off 21) smashed three sixes in five balls—including back-to-back sixes off the final two deliveries—to pull off an extraordinary comeback victory. But Henry, batting at No. 5 and switching to her country's home franchise after playing for Barbados Royals (now Tridents) last year, helped them register a memorable, come-from-behind victory.
