JP Duminy blitzed a record-breaking fifty off just 15 balls as Babardos crushed Trinbago by 63 runs in the Caribbean Premier League.
The South African walked to the wicket with the Tridents 110-1 after openers Johnson Charles (58 off 39) and Jonathan Carter (51 off 46) had set up the perfect launchpad.
Duminy cashed in, striking four fours and seven sixes - one of which brought up his half-century - before being dismissed for 65 off 20 balls.
In so doing he eclipsed the previous fastest CPL fifty, scored off 17 balls by Evin Lewis in a remarkable victory for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots earlier this month.
Duminy's knock propelled Barbados to 192-5 off their 20 overs, a total which included just one from Alex Hales as the Englishman's poor CPL continued.
Knight Riders made a decent fist of the chase, reaching 69-2 inside seven overs before Duminy took a stunning catch in the deep to remove Colin Munro off the bowling of Raymon Reifer.
Leg-spinner Hayden Walsh then tilted the balance of the match in Barbados' favour by dismissing Denesh Ramdin and going on to pick up figures of 5-19 as Knight Riders folded to 129 all out off 17.4 overs.
