Jamaica off-spinner Vanessa Watts tried to stem the flow with figures of 2/32, but Barbados’ depth in batting proved too much in their respectable total.

In reply, Jamaica struggled to build momentum, eventually being bowled out for 144 in 44.3 overs. Captain and opener Rashada Williams top-scored with 48 from 86 balls, and veteran Stafanie Taylor added 31, but the rest of the batting lineup faltered against a disciplined Barbados attack.
