Recalled Rahkeem Cornwall starred with a five-wicket haul as Barbados Royals crushed St Kitts & Nevis Patriots by nine wickets at Kensington Oval to book a spot in the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) playoffs.  
 
Enjoying the spin-friendly surface, Cornwall claimed 5/16 as the Patriots batting order lost 7/31 and were bowled out for 110 in the last over to fall well short of a competitive total. 
 
In-form opener Quinton de Kock (59 not out off 38 balls) was unstoppable as the Royals mowed down the target in the 12th over.
