Several batsmen got starts but failed to carry on as left-hander Jonathan Carter top-scored with 36, Marlon Samuels got 33 and opener Andre Fletcher, 31.
New-ball bowler Kyle Mayers led the Select XI with four for 47 from eight overs.
In reply, rookie Aaron Jones stroked an enterprising top score of 49 while Test batsman Shai Hope followed up his half-century in the first game with 48, as the Select XI eased to victory in the 43rd over.
