Four teams contested the tournament –
knock-out tournament over a single weekend, from 13 to 15 April 1973. All matches were played at Kensington Oval, in Bridgetown, Barbados, and had a duration of 40 overs.[1] In the tournament final, Barbados narrowly defeated Guyana, winning by only nine runs.[3] A number of players in the Banks Trophy went on to play a key role in the West Indian team that won the inaugural World Cup in 1975.[4]
