The official scorecard, published by ESPNcricinfo on 13 August 2022, records the following:
| Team | Runs | Wickets | Overs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trinbago Knight Riders Women | 124 | 5 | 20.0 |
| Guyana Amazon Warriors Women | 70 | 10 | 17.5 |
TKR won the toss and elected to bat first. The opening pair of Dottin and Selman put on a solid 55‑run stand in the first 7 overs, stabilising the innings after a early dot‑ball start. Dottin accelerated in the powerplay, hitting two sixes and three fours before being dismissed for 45. Selman saw the innings through the middle overs, adding 25 runs before a catch at deep mid‑wicket. The lower order contributed quick runs, with a late flurry of boundaries taking the total to 124/5.
When Guyana began their chase, the Warrior’s top order struggled against Selman’s disciplined line. The first wicket fell on the third ball of the innings, and the second wicket arrived within the first over of the second powerplay. Despite a brief resistance from Sultana, who scored 22, the Warriors could not rebuild. The final wicket fell on a dot ball at 70 runs, sealing a 54‑run win for Trinbago.
Selman’s dual contribution of 25 runs and three wickets made her the match‑winner. Her economy of 4.00 runs per over kept the Warriors’ scoring rate low, while her wickets came at crucial moments – the first wicket broke the opening partnership, and the third wicket removed the set batswoman Nigar Sultana. Analysts on the WCPL post‑match panel highlighted her swing and variations as the key factors that prevented a chase.
The victory moved Trinbago Knight Riders Women to the top of Group A with 4 points from two matches, improving their net run rate to +1.42. Guyana Amazon Warriors Women slipped to third place with 2 points and a net run rate of –0.67. The win also secured TKR a direct berth into the semi‑finals, while the Warriors must win their final group match to stay alive.

The match hinged on three decisive moments. First, Selman’s early wicket of the opening batter at 3.2 overs broke the Warriors’ momentum and set a low target pressure. Second, Dottin’s 45‑run blitz during the powerplay lifted the TKR total to a competitive 124, giving the bowlers a comfortable margin. Third, the Warriors’ middle‑order collapse at 45/4 after Sultana’s dismissal left them needing 30 runs from 30 balls with only two wickets in hand, a situation they could not recover from. Each of these moments was highlighted in the post‑match video analysis, where commentators noted the impact of Selman’s swing on the early wickets and Dottin’s aggressive stroke‑play on the scoreboard.
Overall, the win reinforced TKR’s reputation for depth in both batting and bowling, and it set the tone for their unbeaten run through the group stage.
Shakera Selman received the Player of the Match award for her all‑round impact, scoring 25 runs and taking three wickets.
