A solid all-round team performance by the Windward Islands propelled them to a five-wicket victory via the Duckworth/Lewis method in the final Group A encounter of the 2012 Caribbean Twenty20 tournament in the early morning hours today at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
The Darren Sammy-led Windward Islands, after calling correctly at the coin toss, elected to field first in damp evening conditions, restricted Guyana to 140/8 and chased down their D/L target of 119 thanks to Johnson Charles’ second half-century of the tournament.

This result means that the Windwards join Trinidad and Tobago
