A tournament that travelled
The second season expanded from twenty-four matches to thirty and from six host territories to eight. Two of the additions, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Grenada, had no franchise in the competition. Warner Park in Basseterre took nine matches, more than any other ground, including both semi-finals and the final. It was an early demonstration of the league's willingness to detach a fixture from the team whose name is on it, which would later become the basis of whole seasons.
Each side played nine group matches rather than seven. Barbados Tridents, Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel and Jamaica Tallawahs all won six; Guyana Amazon Warriors won five and took the last semi-final place. St Lucia Zouks won two and Antigua Hawksbills one, which was the Hawksbills' last season: the franchise was wound up over the winter.
Scoring
Batting improved sharply on the first season. Chris Gayle made 111 for Jamaica, Dwayne Smith made 110 and 104 for Barbados, and Marlon Samuels 106. Lendl Simmons scored 446 runs for Guyana across the season, the highest aggregate, and was named player of the tournament. Ravi Rampaul took 18 wickets for Barbados, and Krishmar Santokie, the previous season's leading wicket-taker, took 4 for 11 in one match.
Basseterre
Jamaica beat the Red Steel in the first semi-final, chasing 156 with two balls remaining, Andre Russell making 62 not out from 27. Guyana beat Jamaica in the second, bowling them out for 134 and knocking the runs off without losing a wicket in 14.5 overs, Simmons making 71 not out.
The final, on 16 August, was interrupted. Barbados batted first and made 152 for 6, Dwayne Smith making 59 and Santokie taking 3 for 19. Rain then cut Guyana's reply; at 107 for 4 after 15.5 overs they were eight runs short of the revised target and the match was awarded to Barbados on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Shoaib Malik took the match award.
It was Barbados Tridents' first title and a second consecutive defeat in the final for Guyana, who had now lost both finals the competition had staged.
