The tourists slumped to 3-19 in pursuit of a revised target of 123 and they were well short on 93 when topscorer Karim Janat was the last man out for 20, with nine balls remaining.

Kesrick Williams fittingly took the final wicket, giving him figures of 3-11 from 15 balls.

The third and final match in the series takes place at the same venue on Monday.
