The 2014 CPL final at Warner Park, St Kitts saw Barbados Tridents beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by 8 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis method after rain intervened. In an unusual twist, the Player of the Tournament award went to Guyana's Lendl Simmons, whose competition-leading 446 runs made him the standout batter despite his team finishing as runners-up.
