Guyana won the toss and elected to bat at the Grenada National Stadium but suffered an early set back when opener June Ogle (01) was dismissed in the 4th over. The Guyanese then lost a few more quick wickets to be at 30-3 before Shemaine Campbell and Treymane Smartt added 38 for the fourth wicket to steady the Guyanese innings. Campbell was then run out for 22 before Smartt was stumped for 35 to leave Guyana at 89-5; a position from which they never recovered as they were bowled out for 97 in 19.4 overs. Shanel Daley with 2-9 was the pick of the bowlers.
Jamaica reply got off to a bad start when Smartt bowled Mc Clean for 6 at 18-1 in the third over. The Guyanese bowlers continued to mount the pressure on the Jamaicans reducing them to 50-5 before Sanford and Henry saw their team home without further hiccups as they added 47 for the sixth wicket; Jamaica finished on 99-5 in 19.4 overs, Sanford made 27 and Henry 20.
