Women cricketers take centre stage as T20 Blaze and Super50 get underway in SVG

Cricket West Indies (CWI) will commence a major year of women’s cricket as the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze return to St. Vincent and the Grenadines from January 13-31, 2026.

The limited-over tournaments once again bring together sides from Barbados, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, T20 Blaze defending champions Guyana, Super 50 defending champions Trinidad and Tobago and hosts the Windward Islands, to provide a strong competitive platform at the start of a busy cricket calendar for the West Indies Women.

The T20 Blaze will be contested in a round-robin format followed by finals and like last year’s tournament, all matches will be played at the Arnos Vale Ground. Fans will be treated to triple-headers daily, with matches starting at 09:30h, 14:30h and 19:00h.

Following the conclusion of the T20 Blaze, the Super50 tournament will commence at three grounds- Sion Hill, Park Hill and Cumberland- and games will bowl off at 09:30h each day. Each team will play three games, after which the top-ranked team will be declared the winner.

Guyana claimed their maiden regional women’s title in last year’s T20 Blaze after an undefeated run in the competition, which culminated in a Super Over victory over Jamaica in the final. Earlier in 2025, Trinidad and Tobago secured the Super50 crown with a seven-wicket win over Barbados in the final.

Cricket West Indies Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe highlighted the importance of the tournaments saying, “These tournaments are a critical starting point for what promises to be an extremely demanding and important year for women’s cricket in the Caribbean. The CG United Women’s Super50 Cup and the T20 Blaze provide the competitive intensity and performance benchmarks that are essential as we build towards a busy international schedule, featuring major bilateral series and the ICC T20 World Cup.”

“Strong regional competition remains the foundation of our high-performance pathway, and we expect these tournaments to once again highlight and produce players ready to perform at the international level

Following the tournaments, the ‘Maroon Warriors’ will host Sri Lanka for a white-ball series in late February, before doing battle with Australia in an all-format series the following month.

This summer will also be a major one for the women, featuring a tri-nation series against Ireland and Pakistan, along with the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, which the regional side has been diligently preparing for.

All tournament matches will be streamed live on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel, with live scorecards and ball-by-ball commentary available on the www.windiescricket.com Match Centre.
