Wessels was again the leading Australian batsman though towards the end of the innings Kent and Marsh added a fine 66 for the sixth wicket in their 48 minutes together.
West Indies began with a first wicket partnership of 95 in 83 minutes and a further 67 was added before the second wicket fell. From that point they coasted to victory to take a two to one lead in the five match finals series of the International Cup.
