St Kitts crushed St Lucia by seven wickets with over 12 overs to spare at Gros Islet.

Left arm pacer Sheldon Cottrell took 3-14, and he supported by spinners Sandeep Lamichanne (2-13) and Mahmudullah (2-20) as they skittled St Lucia out for an embarrassing 69 all out, Qaid Ahmed topscoring with 24.

Makeshift opener Devon Thomas then struck 38 not out from 21 balls as St Kitts made easy work of chasing down the paltry target.

Jamaica ended their unhappy, winless home run at Florida, when they lost a close match by two runs to Barbados.

Steve Smith hit 63 from 44, and Shai Hope 43 from 35, to take Barbados to 156-6. Pacer Andre Russell took 2-32.

Despite knocks of 42 from 32 from Johnson Charles, and 36 from 24 from Glenn Phillips, Jamaica ended up on 154-3, inexplicably losing with wickets in hand as Ross Taylor and David Miller were left not out in the 20s. Smith took 2-19.

Seems like they were not happy to play in Florida even before the games started.

Maybe Guyana should play their home games in Florida instead.
:D
Did you go to any matches, Googs?

St Lucia secured a rare second win, when they beat Guyana by six wickets with two overs to spare at Beausejour. Pacers Kesrick Williams and Obed McCoy each took 2-23 to restrict Guyana to 140-9, Delport topscoring with 25.

St Lucia knocked off the target for the loss of four wickets, led by Andre Fletcher with a run-a-ball 45 not out, and Kieron Pollard's quickfire 41 not out from 18. Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul took 2-20.

At Kensington Oval, seven-foot left arm pacer Mohammed Irfan of Pakistan returned the astounding world record figures of four overs two wickets and one run, only to see his Barbados Tridents lose to St Kitts by six wickets with an over to spare.

Captain Jason Holder struck 54 from 35 to take Barbados to 147-6, against Anton Devcich (2-25) and Ben Cutting (2-18). Despite posting a modest score, Irfan appeared to have put the hosts in a winning position with his outstanding spell, but then Brandon King struck 60 from 49 in a bizarre innings of two halves, supported by a run-a-ball 32 from Devon Thomas.

Unfortunately I could not make it this year. My friend went and reported that of all the years this year has been the best organized so far. In fact, he said it was so much better than the WI vs Bangla game.

What a surprise! :D :D :D
