Ahead of the final round of fixtures, Guyana had a 23-point lead over their nearest rivals, the Leeward Islands, with the Leeward Islands needing to score the maximum of 24 points in their last game to win the tournament.[6] Guyana were confirmed as champions, after the Leeward Islands were bowled out for 90 runs in the first innings of their final match.[7] The Leeward Islands would then go on to declare their second innings on 83/2, still 18 runs behind Barbados, and therefore lose the match.[8] This was in an attempt to finish ahead of Barbados in the final table,[9] but with a miscalculation on the points required, the Leeward Islands finished 0.2 points behind Barbados.[10]
Prior to the start of the tournament, the following squads were selected in the Professional Cricket League draft:[3][5][11][12]
