The off-spinner bagged career-best 6-33 from 16.5 overs, and left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul supported with 3-44 from 15 overs as the Guyanese performed a bowling miracle to win the match and claim the Headley-Weekes Trophy, symbol of supremacy in the tournament.
Finishing in second position in the Championship were the Windward Island Volcanoes, the Barbados Pride came in third and Trinidad and Tobago Red Force rounds out the top four.
