Birthday boy Kemar Roach and last man Tino Best ensured the West Indies did not complete their own destruction, turning in match-saving performances.
“At the end, we got over the line and that’s what matters,” said a relieved Kieron Pollard, who took the reins of leadership after captain Dwayne Bravo was sidelined with a groin injury.
The home side had to reply to the World Cup and Champions Trophy holders’ total of 229 for seven.
Things did not bode well for the hosts as they lost eight wickets for 197 runs, and it was left to the Barbadian fast-bowling pair of Roach and Best to see the West Indies home in a nail-biting finish.
