Rakheem Cornwall (5-16) and Quinton de Kock (59* off 38) played pivotal roles as Barbados Royals thumped St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by nine wickets at the Kensington Oval.
The result strengthened the hosts' stay at the top of the table as they booked a place for themselves in the CPL 2024 playoffs, while their opponents were on the brink of elimination.
Cornwall's spell in the middle overs ensured a massive implosion for the Patriots who slipped from 38/2 to 69/8 in the space of just 48 deliveries.
This was after Andre Fletcher (32 off 22) had gotten the visitors off to a decent start in the PowerPlay with some counterattacking cricket.
However, once the Royals took pace off the ball, they wreaked havoc with Naveen-ul-Haq (3-21) also having a field day.
It took a gritty 39-run stand for the ninth wicket between Joshua Da Silva (25 off 29) and Anrich Nortje (22 off 17) to get the Patriots' total past three figures but they were also going to end with a total that was well below par.
Cornwall's spell was special because he tempted the batters, even the right-handers by tossing them and deceptively getting the ball to dip.
This along with the extra bounce from his tall frame meant that the batters often miscued their strokes to perish.
The collapse meant a cakewalk run chase for the Royals and de Kock once again came to the party with another fifty-plus score.
Unlike the previous game, the South African raced away in the Powerplay this time with his trademark cuts and pick-up strokes.
He also found able support from young Kadeem Alleyne (25 off 14) who once again looked good in his stay at the crease.
It took the magic of Wanindu Hasaranga to break the opening stand but that was a mere consolation for the Patriots as Alick Athanaze (22* off 15) then joined de Kock to hasten the end of the game.
The duo got the job done with ease, aided by some listless bowling and heavy dew which made a mockery of an already paltry total.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 110 in 19.
1 overs (Andre Fletcher 32; Rakheem Cornwall 5-16, Naveen-ul-Haq 3-16) lost to Barbados Royals 113-1 in 11.
2 overs (Quinton de Kock 59*, Kadeem Alleyne 25, Alick Athanaze 22*) by nine wickets.
