Barbados Tridents vs Guyana Amazon Warriors Prediction & Match Preview – CPL 2026

Barbados Tridents meet Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 35th match of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League at Kensington Oval. The game is on Sunday 13 September, a 7:00 pm local start in Bridgetown.

The Tridents are captained by Chris Green and have Quinton de Kock keeping wicket. Brandon King, Zachary Carter and Sherfane Rutherford head the batting, while Daniel Sams, Gudakesh Motie and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are expected to carry the attack, with Jakeem Pollard also in the likely line-up.

Guyana will be led by Imran Tahir, with Shai Hope behind the stumps. Glenn Phillips, Shimron Hetmyer and Quentin Sampson give them batting power, and Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Shamar Joseph and Veerasammy Permaul add all-round and bowling options alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Conditions look balanced, with seam early on and spin through the middle overs. Our preview expects Guyana to edge it, and the toss could matter if evening dew arrives.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Kensington Oval usually gives a fair contest, with a little early help for the quicker bowlers. The new ball can seam and bounce in the powerplay, after which batters can play more freely. The surface tends to slow a touch, so spinners come into the game in the middle overs. Around 160–175 is a competitive first-innings total and 175 or more is a strong one. Evening dew can help the ball come onto the bat, which may favour the side chasing.

Weather

Expect a cloudy, breezy and humid evening in Bridgetown at the 7:00 pm local start, with temperatures of about 28–29°C. Passing showers are possible earlier in the day, but the rain risk around match time is put at roughly 20%. Humidity and the breeze could assist seam bowlers, and a short shower is the main concern.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 155–170
• 2nd innings: 160–175
