A stop-and-start chase by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots offset by regular wickets led St Lucia Zouks to their first win of the tournament. Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn looked threatening at the start but once the openers were dismissed, the Patriots couldn't really get back into the chase. Scott Kuggeleijn got four wickets and derailed any attempts at a comeback by the Patriots. Sheldon Cottrell hit a few big hits towards the death but it was a case of too little too late for the Patriots. Mohammad Nabi was chosen Man of the Match for his 35-run cameo and 1/17 with the ball.
