Team Saint Lucia claimed the 2025 Windward Islands Super 50 Championship title with an outstanding performance at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground (DSCG) on Saturday, overpowering Dominica in the final.
Ackeem Auguste, 22, showcased exceptional talent as he dominated the innings, scoring an impressive 208* off 133 balls. His powerful batting display featured 16 fours and 14 sixes, effectively dismantling the opposition’s bowling attack.
Saint Lucia set an imposing total of 427/9 , bolstered by Auguste’s remarkable innings along with solid contributions from Noelle Leo (70 off 61 balls, 5 fours, 6 sixes), skipper Kimani Melius (40), Jaden Elibox (33), and Shadrack Descarte (29). Auguste’s first century came off 93 balls, while he blazed through his second hundred in just 33 deliveries—a testament to his striking ability and cricketing maturity.
The stylish and aggressive left-hander, named Player of the Match and MVP of the tournament, formed a formidable second-wicket partnership of 132 with Noelle Leo and later a sixth-wicket partnership of 109 with Jaden Elibox.
On the bowling side, Gilon Tyson stood out for Dominica, taking 4 wickets for 77 runs from his 10 overs, while Vincent Lewis contributed with 2 for 63. In response, despite commendable efforts from Jerlani Robinson (75 runs with twelve fours and one six) and Gian Benjamin (51 runs), Dominica struggled to keep pace with the required scoring rate, ultimately finishing at 245 all out—losing by a significant 182 runs.
Off-spinner Tarrique Edward claimed 3 for 35, and leg-spinner Dornan Edward secured 3 for 63, while Jaden Elibox added 2 for 60.
