The West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) has extended congratulations to two outstanding regional teams following a compelling stretch of women’s cricket in January 2026, as the Leeward Islands Women and Jamaica Women secured major domestic titles in contrasting formats.
From explosive T20 action to the measured demands of the 50-over game, both teams stamped their authority in tournaments staged in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, underscoring the depth and momentum within West Indies women’s cricket.
Leeward Islands sweep the T20 Blaze
The Leeward Islands Women delivered a flawless campaign in the 2026 Women’s T20 Blaze, finishing the tournament unbeaten and capping their run with a dramatic six-run victory over Barbados Women via the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method in the final on Friday, January 23.
Contested from January 13 to January 23, the competition saw the Leewards combine consistency, discipline, and resilience, navigating changing conditions and knockout pressure to emerge as deserving champions.
Jamaica assert control in the Super50
Just over a week later, Jamaica Women claimed the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup, completing their campaign with a commanding eight-wicket win over the Leeward Islands Women on Saturday, January 31.
The three-round tournament, held from January 27 to January 31, again in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, showcased Jamaica’s composure and balance across departments, as they successfully chased down their target to seal the 2026 title.
WIPA applauds excellence and progress
WIPA President and CEO Wavell Hinds praised both teams for their achievements and the standard they set across the competitions.
“Whole-hearted congratulations to the Leeward Islands Women on an undefeated run, and taking the 2026 Women’s T20 Blaze title. Congratulations as well to Jamaica Women on winning the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup. We wish you all continued growth and success.”
The twin triumphs reflect a growing competitive edge within the regional women’s game, as teams continue to raise performance levels and build toward sustained excellence.
