On Thursday, Barbados kept their hopes of advancing alive, by beating the hapless St Lucia Stars by 29 runs in Bridgetown, in front of a mediocre crowd.

Dwayne Smith blasted 103 not out from just 65 balls, including five fours and eight sixes, to lead Barbados to an imposing 195-4. He received support from Nicholas Pooran, who made 32 from only 20 balls, while offspinner Rahkeem Cornwall took 2-30 for St Lucia.

Despite a knock of 78 retired hurt from just 44 balls from Cornwall, St Lucia could only manage 1166-4, pacer Wahab Riaz taking 1-5 for the hosts.

In front of a good crowd at Kensington Oval on Saturday, Barbados beat Trinbago Knight Riders by 16 runs.

In front of an average crowd on Sunday, St Kitts hammered Barbados by 10 wickets with all of 13 overs to spare, in a game marred by poor sportsmanship from Tridents captain Kieron Pollard.

Medium pacer Carlos Brathwaite took 4-15 and chinaman Tabraiz Shamsi 2-14 as they restricted Barbados to just 128-9. Tion Webster topscored with 32 from 25 balls.

Evin Lewis then blasted 97 not out from only 33 balls, but was denied a well-deserved century when Pollard deliberately bowled a no-ball to deny the St Kitts opener the landmark. The result meant that Barbados failed to advance to the knockout stage.

In front of a poor crowd at Tarouba on Wednesday, Guyana eliminated Jamaica by five wickets with more than two overs to spare.

Kumar Sangakkara hit 57 not out from 38 balls, and he received support from Lendl Simmons, who made 34 from 25 balls, to take Jamaica to 168-8.

The Trinbago Knight Riders won the CPL on Saturday, when they beat St Kitts by three wickets with one over to spare in front of a packed crowd at the Brian Lara Stadium.

Medium pacers Javon Searles (2-29) and Kevon Cooper (2-12) restricted St Kitts to 135-6, Carlos Brathwaite topscoring with 30 not out from 25 balls. Offspinner Sunil Narine was particularly stingy with four overs one wicket for eight runs.

Spinners Tabraiz Shamsi (2-20) and Mohammed Hafeez (2-19), and left-arm pacer Sheldon Cottrell (2-21), hit back to have TKR reeling at 90-7, Colin Munro having made 29 from 23 balls. But then an unbeaten partnership between Denesh Ramdin (26 from 31) and Cooper (29 from 14) carried the hosts to an emotional victory.
