The match in a tweet: De Villiers delights as Barbados cruise home against St Kitts and Nevis, opening their account for CPL 2016.
The result: St Kitts and Nevis (8-162) defeated by the Barbados Tridents (3-166) by seven wickets with eight balls to spare.
The hero: South Africa superstar AB de Villiers has had an uncharacteristically lean trot of late, with his last score above fifty - in any format - coming in late May in the Indian Premier League.

De Villiers reached the total from just 33 deliveries, launching three sixes into the Warner Park crowd.
