Player of the match, Jonathan van Lange (57*) then notched his second half-century of the series, leading the charge for the hosts, who were set a revised target of 191 in 31 overs. Opener Earsinho Fontaine was also among the runs, scoring 39 as the Caribbean side completed the chase with 5 deliveries to spare at 191 for 4.
