WCPL 2024 Final: Barbados Royals players were over the moon after a crucial breakthrough in the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2024 final against Trinbago Knight Riders at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on Thursday, August 29. The jubilant celebrations followed after Jjannillea Glasgow was brilliantly caught by Amanda-Jade Wellington, who pulled off a stunning catch at mid-off from Aaliyah Alleyne’s bowling.
Glasgow’s departure for 24 runs off 31 balls left the Knight Riders reeling at 53/3 after 11.1 overs. Despite their efforts, the 2022 champions never managed to recover, posting a subpar total of 93/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Aaliyah Alleyne was the star of the show, ending with a four-wicket haul in the crucial final, earning her the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
The Barbados Royals’ exceptional celebrations caught the eye of many, including the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) itself. Sharing the joyous moment on X (formerly Twitter), CPL’s official handle posted: “What a TOPCO Celebration from the @BarbadosRoyals in the Massy WCPL Final at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.”
This victory marked a remarkable end to the tournament, with the Royals displaying top-notch performances in both bowling and fielding, sealing their dominance in the 2024 WCPL.
