Guyana played their last game in the league against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Guyana batted first to score 135 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their quota of twenty overs. Although Gudakesh Motie and Raymon Reifer got out cheaply, the middle-order batters were expected to perform a resurrection job. But they could not accelerate the innings where just Moeen Ali played well to score 42 runs from 33 balls, helping the Guyana team raise a competitive score of 135 runs. They bowled out the opposition for 108 runs to register a win. Moeen Ali and Dwaine Pretorius picked up three wickets each, and their figures were nearly identical in this game.

He has collected 391 runs from his effort this season so far. This year's top bowler for Barbados has been Maheesh Theekshana, with nine victims to his credit. Royals lost their last game in the competition against Saint Lucis Kings by a margin of 13 runs. Saint Lucia Kings batted first to raise a good score of 162 runs for the loss of three wickets.
Barbados Royals once again started their effort with razmataz. Their opening batters, Quinton de Kock and Kadeem Alleyne, smashed the Saint Lucia Kings bowlers all over the park. But after this partnership ended, things began to crumble for Barbados. Wickets began to fall regularly, and soon, the Barbados batting effort was in deep trouble. Eventually, the Barbados Royals' batting effort was restricted to 149 runs, resulting in eight wickets being lost. David Miller and Jason Holder tried to recover the innings in the lower middle order, but this effort fell short.
