United States international Karima Gore scored his second successive half-century as Antigua & Barbuda Falcons beat Barbados Royals by six wickets in the Caribbean Premier League.
Chasing 152, the all-rounder struck an unbeaten 64 from 53 balls from number three to see the Falcons home with two balls to spare.
Having been put into bat, Royals opener Quinton de Kock hit 57 from 45 deliveries, while Rovman Powell closed their innings by hammering 51 from 24 balls as the visiting side closed on 151-6.
Falcons saw opener Rahkeem Cornwall caught off Daniel Sams for 10, but Gore, who scored 61 in his side’s opening defeat to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, took control of the innings to take his side to their first win of the season.
They now sit in third in the early table having played two matches, while defeat for Royals in their first match puts them bottom.
