The home side achieved the target comfortably with 6.5 overs to spare.
West Indies captain Kieron Pollard on Wednesday became only the third man to hit six sixes in an international over. The hapless bowler was Akila Dananjaya who in his previous over had claimed a hat-trick of wickets.
Akila Dananjaya dismissed Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran off consecutive deliveries, before being hit for six sixes in an over by Kieron Pollard.
Pollard followed in the footsteps of South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs (2007 World Cup against Netherlands) and India's Yuvraj Singh (2007 T20 World Cup against England) by achieving the rare feat.
