GAW vs STKNP Prediction & Match Preview – CPL 2026, 28th Match

Guyana Amazon Warriors take on St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the 28th match of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League at Providence Stadium. Guyana won their previous game against Jamaica with plenty of time to spare. Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 54 off 35 balls, Mavendra Dindyal added 33, and Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer hit 39 and 30 to finish the chase. Khary Pierre took 2/21 and Dwaine Pretorius 2/20 earlier.

Hetmyer has been the top Guyana batter with 216 runs from five matches at 108, while Mohammad Nabi leads their bowlers with eight wickets in five games.

The Patriots arrive after crushing Saint Lucia Kings by 137 runs. They made 235, with Dasun Shanaka hitting 121 off 43 balls and Andre Fletcher 64, and Jeremiah Louis took 5 for 10 as the Kings were all out for 98. Shanaka has 255 runs from seven games and Jason Holder has eight wickets from eight.

With a mid-afternoon start the surface may stay dry, which could help spin, so a total of around 165 should give the batting side a good chance.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Providence Stadium typically has a slow surface that slightly helps bowlers, and spinners should have a big influence in the middle overs. The ball can grip and hold up, making strokes harder to play, while the quicks can use cutters and variations. A first-innings score of 155–165 should be competitive and 165–175 a strong total. Evening dew might help the chasing team, though this is a 3:00 pm local start.

Weather

Warm and mostly sunny weather is expected, with temperatures near 32°C and some cloud building in the afternoon. Showers are more likely earlier in the day. Humidity should be fairly high and light to moderate winds will give some relief. Conditions look suitable for cricket, though earlier rain could leave some moisture in the surface.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 155–170
• 2nd innings: 140–155
