A magnificent unbeaten 144 by Ryan Ramdass propelled Guyana to a memorable victory against Guyana in a Carib Beer match at Bridgetown. Set a fourth-innings target of 270 in 81 overs, Guyana stormed to victory with six wickets and 15.4 overs to spare. The highlight of the run-chase was Ramdass's 131-run second wicket partnership with Narsingh Deonarine, who scored 52. The 21-year-old Ramdass struck 17 fours and a six in his innings, which came off 194 balls. The win took Guyana's points tally to 22, while Barbados slumped to the bottom of the table with only four points. In fact, this was their fourth consecutive defeat in the Carib Beer tournament, all of them on home turf, making it the first time in their entire first-class history that they had ever suffered this ignominy.
