The 2017–18 Regional Super50 was the 44th edition of the Regional Super50 , the domestic limited-overs cricket competition for the countries of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). The tournament started on 31 January 2018 and finished on 24 February 2018.[ 1] Barbados were the defending champions.[ 2]
In September 2017, two English county sides , Kent and Hampshire , were invited to take part in the competition.[ 3] Kent took part in the previous edition of the tournament.[ 3] In January 2018, the United States national cricket team accepted an invite to join the tournament.[ 4] They were joined by the six regular teams of West Indian domestic cricket (Barbados , Guyana , Jamaica , the Leeward Islands , Trinidad and Tobago , and the Windward Islands ) and the Combined Campuses and Colleges team.[ 4]
Following the conclusion of the group stage, Barbados and the Windward Islands from Group A, and Guyana and Kent from Group B had progressed to the finals.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] In the first semi-final, Barbados beat Kent by 13 runs in a rain-affected match, after Kraigg Brathwaite scored an unbeaten century.[ 8] The second semi-final was also rain-affected, with the Windward Islands beating Guyana by 52 runs, with Tyrone Theophile scoring his first century in List A cricket .[ 9]
The Windward Islands won the tournament, beating the defending champions Barbados by three wickets in the final.[ 10]

In the group stage of the tournament four points were awarded for each match a team won, with two points awarded to both teams if a match ends in a tie or if there is no result declared. A bonus point was awarded to a team if they won a match with a run rate of 1.25 greater than that of the opposition team.[ 17]
