Guyana Amazon Warriors face Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the 30th match of the 2026 CPL at Providence Stadium. Guyana arrive after a seven-wicket win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, who made 128 batting first. Rahmanullah Gurbaz struck 39 off 25, Shai Hope made 38 and Mohammad Nabi 25 off 21 as the chase finished in 18.3 overs. Nabi took 4 for 17, Romario Shepherd 3 for 16 and Shamar Joseph two wickets.

Pitch report

Providence Stadium normally has a slow surface that slightly favours the bowlers, and spinners should have a big say in the middle overs. Batters may find shots harder to time as the ball grips and slows, and the quicks can use cutters and variations. A first-innings total of 155–165 is usually competitive, with 165–175 a strong score. Evening dew could make the ball skid on and give the chasing team an advantage.

Weather

Partly cloudy conditions with temperatures around 27–28°C are expected at 7:00 pm local time. The chance of rain is relatively low, though a brief shower cannot be ruled out. Humidity should stay high and winds light to moderate. Some dew may develop later in the evening and help the team batting second.
