Windward Islands opener Dhan-Raj Cepal top-scored with 35 from 101 balls with one four, and was the only batsman to offer any resistance. Rene Montoute (12) and Razim Elehie (11) were the other batsmen to score double figures.
Batting first after his team won the toss, Sachin Singh top-scored with 45. Openers Junior Sinclair (25) and Robin Williams (38) laid the foundation with an opening stand of 77.
Kevlon Anderson scored a boundary-less 37 late down the order to help Guyana’s winning total.
Off-spinner Jahseon Alexander (4-41) and left-arm orthodox spinner Simeon Gerson (3-54) were the best bowlers on show for the visitors.
