Scorecard
The Windward Islands pulled off an amazing victory over Trinidad & Tobago despite being bowled out for only 63 in their first innings. When the third day started at Arnos Vale the Windwards were 69 for 4, chasing 202 - and they just got there, with the last pair putting on 14 runs to squeak their side home. The Windwards had slipped to 101 for 6 before Darren Sammy, who made a vital 59, put on 56 with his captain Rawl Lewis (32). Sammy eventually fell to Reyad Emrit, caught by Sherwin Ganga who also removed Lewis. But Deighton Butler and Kenroy Peters inched the Windward Islands over the finishing line.

Resuming on the third morning at 13 without loss in their first innings, Guyana slipped to 191 all out, with only Narsingh Deonarine (45) staying for long in the top order. Jamaica's surge was briefly held up by the Nagamootoo brothers, who put on 50 for the eighth wicket - Mahendra made 36 and Vishal 33. But, with Daren Powell and Nikita Miller both taking three wickets, Guyana were soon all out and batting again. This time it was Dave Bernard who did the damage, claiming 3 for 5 in only four overs as Guyana slumped to 77 for 5.
