Match preview
Guyana Amazon Warriors face Trinbago Knight Riders in the 33rd match of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League at Providence Stadium. Guyana, captained by Imran Tahir, have Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mavendra Dindyal, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer in the batting, with Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Joseph and Khary Pierre providing all-round and bowling strength.
Trinbago, led by Nicholas Pooran, have a powerful top order in Colin Munro, Sunil Narine and Alex Hales, plus Kieron Pollard and Joshua Da Silva. Akeal Hosein, Usman Tariq and Lahiru Kumara lead the attack, and Justin Greaves and Matthew Breetzke are in the wider squad.
Providence has been a slow, two-paced venue where spinners and cutters can control the scoring rate in the middle overs. Batters who keep wickets in hand can score heavily at the death. A total around 165–170 should be competitive, and the toss winner may choose to bat first given that dew has had only a slight effect here in the past.
Providence Stadium usually has a slow surface that slightly helps bowlers, and spin should be key in the middle overs. The ball can grip and hold up, making strokeplay harder, while the pacers can bowl cutters and variations. A first-innings score of 155–165 is competitive and 165–175 a strong total. Evening dew may help the chase, though historically the advantage here has been slight.
Warm and humid conditions with mostly clear skies are expected around the 7:00 pm local start. A few showers are possible in the morning, but the weather should improve later in the day, leaving a relatively low chance of rain during the match. Humidity is likely to be the main factor, with only limited risk of interruptions.

Guyana Amazon Warriors
