Despite impressive half-centuries from Guyana Harpy Eagles Captain Tevin Imlach and Vice-captain Keemo Paul, which helped their side post 274/5, the Windward Islands Volcanoes clinched a last-over thriller to win by a wicket and three balls to spare at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad.

Playing in their opening Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Super50 match, the Harpy Eagles won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Matthew Nandu gave them a solid start, both getting starts but failing to bat on. Together they got to 83 before Chanderpaul fell for 49 (4sx5), just one run shy of a fifty, while Nandu would fall for 34 (4sx3).
