Defending champions the Windward Islands ended their group stages with their third loss from three games, going down by 64 runs to Ireland. Niall O'Brien topscored with 44 in Ireland's total of 179, left-arm pacer Delorn Johnson taking 3-25. But then George Dockrell took 3-14 to dismiss the Windwards for a paltry 115, Tyrone Theophile topscoring with 27.

Jamaica beat Guyana by 10 runs in an exciting, close, top-of-the-table clash, thanks to a match-winning 122 not out from Nkrumah Bonner. Jamaica made 243-7, against two wickets each for pacer Ronsford Beaton and left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul. Veteran Shiv Chanderpaul topscored with 65, and opener Trevon Griffith made 37, but there was not much else, as Guyana were bowled out for 233 by pacers andre Russell (3-51) and Sheldon Cotterrell (3-62).

In an embarrassingly one-sided match, Trinidad crushed the CCC by eight wickets with more than 30 overs to spare. Medium-pacer Dwayne Bravo and part-time offspinner Jason Mohammed each took 3-19 to dismiss the CCC for a paltry 98, for whom Raymon Reifer topscored with 27. Evin Lewis hit 44, and Lendl Simmons 38, as Trinidad easily knocked off the paltry target in 16 overs.

Barbados joined Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana in the semi-finals, with an unconvincing four-wicket win over the Leewards. Offspinner Ashley Nurse took 6-29 to rout the Leewards for 103, Kieran Powell topscoring with 34. But then, Barbados lost six wickets in chasing down this paltry total, and only succeeded because of a patient 29 not out from 988 balls from opener Kraigg Brathwaite. There were two wickets each for Lionel Baker, Anthony Martin and Kelbert Walters.

In a farcical semi-final, Trinidad beat jamaica by seven wickets with just under 37 overs to spare. Medium pacers Rayad Emrit (4-19) and Dwayne Bravo (3-10) dismissed jamaica for a paltry 49, Andre mcCarthy topscoring with just 16. Darren Bravo then hit 23 not out as Trinidad lost three wickets to Jerome Taylor (3-11) in erasing the target.

An opening partnership of 81 between Dwayne Smith and Kraigg Brathwaite set the foundation for a three-wicket win by Barbados over Guyana in the second semi-final. Smith hit a rapid 61 from just 37 balls, while Brathwaite notched up a patient 55 not out from 122 balls, as the Barbadians chased down a target of 181 with four overs to spare. Kenroy Williams also finished on 40 not out, while left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul took two wickets.

Earlier, Narsing Deonarine topscored with 58 in Guyana's 181 all out, while there were 30s from Chris Barnwell and Anthony Bramble, but not much else. Fidel Edwards took 4-16 to blow away Guyana's top order.

ESPN3, but that's not in the UK....

There are some streams out there, I think.

But there is official audio coverage here:

Cheers Mike, I imagine there will be a stream somewhere.

Shame Tino Best ain't playing in the final

Tino didn't play in any matches at all...funny how he's good enough to play for the Windies, but not good enough to play for Barbados.

Barbados won an exciting final by 17 runs. Dwayne Smith hit a run-a-ball 83, and Jonathan Carter 49, to help Barbados to 252, medium pacer Kevon Cooper taking 4-62. Medium fast pacer Carlos Brathwaite then took 4-41 to bowl Trinidad for 235, Denesh Ramdin topscoring with 68.
