The Grand Final:
Barbados team preview - Can they restrict the mighty Trinidad and Tobago?
Trinidad team preview - Will they win the Americas Championship on the strength of reputation?
Grand Final Live - Ball by ball coverage of Barbados v T&T.
T&T, Barbados set up exciting finale
At the Recreation Ground, the Americans would have had the pre-tournament favourites worried when they were restricted to a very chaseable 237, however, it just wasn't to be once Nadkarni and Massiah had self-destructed. Ryan Corns starred in a losing cause with 40 and 3 for 27. Elsewhere, Anguilla just couldn't stand up to the fiery Barbados bowling.
Jamaica, Guyana biggest Quarter-Final casualties
Denesh Ramdin's sensible batting ensured that T&T prevailed in the headline draw against Guyana. Elsewhere, Barbados and America both posted comfortable victories, but the big shock came a boat-ride away in St Kitts, where Anguilla's dogged fighting overhauled Jamaica's lackadaisical batting.
Race for the Knockouts:
Anguilla and Trinidad progress - In Group A, Anguilla head the tight chasing pack thanks to their earlier tie.
Guyana, St Vincent beat competition - With all four teams level in Group B, the final round of games was crucial.
Barbados win key clash - Triumph in must-win St Lucia clash. Meanwhile, unfancied Grenada finish top of Group C.
Russell, Samuels blast Jamaica to top - Beat the USA to join them in the Quarters; Canada crash out of Group D.
Everything's open after thrilling round
The big upset came in Group D, where Jamaica failed to pay attention for long enough to dispatch the lowly (and elderly) Montserrat team. It's all still open with nobody guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals yet.
Nail-biting tie for Anguilla and T&T
The most thrilling game of the season so far was played today between Anguilla and regional giants Trinidad & Tobago. After positive innings from Hughes, Hamilton and Adams, Omari Banks bowled a super-human final over to halve the points.
Cricket back on after the break
After a short break in proceedings, the Nagico Americas Championship is back on. There are two rounds of the group stage left, with Barbados and Guyana having found themselves in a real scrap for their top-eight places.
Upsets leave Barbados, Guyana in the lurch
Barbados and Guyana have found themselves in a genuine fight to hold onto the top-eight spots that they would expect, thanks to upsets against Grenada and St Vincent respectively.
Guyana lose face, St Kitts lose hope
Guyana rumbled by their own 'A' team; St Kitts & Nevis feeling deflated after losing what is effectively a dress rehearsal of their tournament opener against the mighty T&T.
