Earsinho Fontaine was the pick of the Windward Islands bowlers, as he ended with five for 18 from 4.2 overs.

Javed Worrell, with 3-17 from five overs, led the Barbados bowling, while Kelani Clarke and Hinds took two wickets apiece.
It was the fourth win in a row for the Barbadians after their opening match against Guyana was washed out without a ball bowled.
