Barbados start defence in style

Barbados 422 for 7 dec and 8 for 0 beat Guyana 108 and 321 by 10 wickets
Scorecard

Barbados started their defence of the title in style - and in some controversy - by routing Guyana by 10 wickets at Bridgetown. They needed just eight runs for victory, after dismissing Guyana for 321, and Kurt Wilkinson wrapped it up in the first over, by lofting Esuan Crandon over extra cover for four. Barbados' win was clouded by their five-run penalty for ball-tampering, though. On the third afternoon, the umpires reportedly decreed that the ball had changed appearance, and immediately changed it. The board are deciding whether to take any further action on the matter.

Trinidad & Tobago 335 and 255 drew with Leeward Islands 324 and 58 for 3
Scorecard

The rains returned to curtail Leeward Island's run-chase against Trinidad & Tobago, with 25 overs of the day remaining. The highlight had earlier been Ricardo Powell's hard-hitting 77 to set up the declaration. The Leewards never threatened to pursue 266 in 47 overs, once Alex Adams had fallen to the first ball of the innings.

Jamaica 266 and 296 for 8 dec drew with Windward Islands 273 and 233 for 5 (Smith 118*)
Scorecard

Devon Smith hit a sparkling century, but Windward Islands were forced to settle for first-innings points against Jamaica at Beausejour. Set 290 for victory, Windwards finished on 223 for 5 with three of the final 15 overs remaining leaving Smith undefeated on 118. Jamaica, who trailed by seven runs on first innings, earlier declared on 296 for 8.

West Indies B 97 and 149 beat Kenya 149 and 85 by 12 runs
Scorecard

Jason Bennett grabbed a hat-trick and Dwight Washington picked up three wickets of his own, as West Indies B pulled off a dramatic 12-run victory over Kenya from an apparently hopeless situation. Set 98 to win, the Kenyans crumbled to 85 all out midway the final session at Edgar Gilbert Park. Bennett removed Collins Obuya (1), Martin Suji (0) and Peter Ongondo (0) with consecutive deliveries to finish with figures of 3 for 23 off 12 overs, and a match haul of 8 for 68.
