St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Guyana Amazon Warriors Live Score, Match 28 of Caribbean Premier League, 2026

Marching ahead unblemished - Well then, Guyana Amazon Warriors have kept their winning run fully intact and sealed their place in the playoffs in the process. They have looked every bit a side to beat this season, with no team even coming close to troubling them so far. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, on the other hand, will feel their plans simply didn't come together this time. They are still very much alive in the tournament, but a win against the Tridents in their final league game is now non-negotiable. That's that from this game. But it's a Sunday double-header, and the second match of the day is just about to get underway in Bridgetown, where the Barbados Tridents go up against St Lucia Kings at the Kensington Oval. The Tridents have opted to bowl first, and our buildup has already begun. So do hop over to that tab to follow all the action from that match. Cheers!

The victorious captain of Guyana Amazon Warriors - Imran Tahir now walks up for a chat. He says he is proud of the boys and feels they have been playing good cricket in all 3 departments. He says anyone can turn up and be the hero, and that has been the story of their campaign. He adds that they enjoy each other's success. Tahir mentions that they have been looked after really well by the franchise and appreciates the support from the fans, which he says they never take for granted. He calls Mohammad Nabi a legend and one of the best off-spinners in world cricket, saying that is why they brought him in. He says that Nabi has been sharing his knowledge with the team and praises his accuracy, saying he rarely misses his lengths and his performances speak for themselves. Tahir admits they will really miss him as he jets off for national duty. On Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Tahir says he has got all the shots in the book and likes to play his own way, and it is better to let him do so. He feels that if Gurbaz can bat for 5 or 6 overs, the opposition will be in trouble.

The captain of the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots - Jason Holder reflects on the defeat. When he is asked to assess the batting effort, he admits that they were around 20 to 25 runs short of where they wanted to be. He says it initially felt competitive, but credits Guyana's bowling for restricting them to 128, calling it a below-par total, with anywhere between 145 and 150 being the kind of score they'd have liked to see. He acknowledges that hindsight might suggest a few tweaks, but stands by the decision made at the toss. On being asked about the missing extra runs, he feels the side was one or two partnerships short, explaining that on a wicket like this, you don't necessarily need 60 or 70-run stands, but a couple of solid 40-run partnerships would have gone a long way. He describes it as a surface where scoring doesn't come easily from the outset, one that demands patience and application given the somewhat low bounce. On the decision to bring Jeremiah Louis in late, Holder explains that the plan was always to lean on the seamers to finish things off in the back end, but falling short by those 20 to 25 runs meant Louis ended up bowling in a far tougher situation than he might have otherwise. Looking ahead to the final league game, Holder says he is genuinely looking forward to heading to Barbados, a venue where the team has enjoyed good success, and with the team still alive in the tournament, the focus now is on closing out the group stage well. He concludes by adding that it will be something of a waiting game to see how the table eventually shapes up, but the immediate priority remains simply winning that final match.

... Time to hear it from the two captains ...

Bowled over, quite literally - The Patriots raced to 27/0 in the first three overs, and that turned out to be the only stretch of the innings where they truly had things under control. Beyond Alick Athanaze's gritty 52, no other batter could fashion an innings of real substance. Mayers and Shanaka both got to 20 apiece but never looked entirely fluent along the way. The pitch had its say too, with the up-and-down bounce accounting for as many as five batters bowled outright. With the ball, it was a genuine collective effort, with almost every bowler leaving a mark. Mohammad Nabi led from the front with a four-wicket haul, Shepherd had three of his own, and Shamar Joseph added a couple more to the tally. Together, they dismantled the engine room of the Patriots, restricting them to a paltry 128.

Got there with ease - Basically, on demanding tracks like these, spending time in the middle and playing as straight as possible matters far more than hacking recklessly across the line. Amazon Warriors got themselves off to a steady start, but there was a phase where they considerably slowed down, especially after the Powerplay and slipped from a steady 58/0 to 78/3. However, with an insane batting depth at their disposal and the required run rate never really a worry, Shai Hope parked himself at the crease, fortifying one end and was ably supported by Mohammad Nabi. The two combined and just diffused the threat of a collapse, helping the hosts to coast safely and successfully.

Plans went awry - The Patriots' tactics while defending a modest 128 raised more than many eyebrows. Jeremiah Louis, the very man who bagged a stunning five-wicket haul in the previous game, wasn't introduced into the attack until as late as the 17th over, by which point the contest had well and truly slipped beyond their reach. To make matters worse, they simply couldn't find a way through the star-studded Amazon Warriors batting lineup all evening. Navin Bidaisee and Wanindu Hasaranga did manage a couple of quick blows along the way, but the visitors were never realistically winning this without picking up all ten wickets.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Mohammad Nabi takes home the award for his all-round contributions with bat and ball. He was instrumental with the ball, with exceptional figures of 4/17 in 4 overs, and also made a notable mark with the bat through an unbeaten 25 (21). Nabi says he loves bowling in the Caribbean, with the slow wickets suiting his style. He says he focuses on sticking to his line and length and bowling according to the situation, whether that is in the Powerplay or outside it. Mentions that his variations also depend on the situation. He says he has really enjoyed his time with the franchise, adding that the team environment has been really good both on and off the field.

A habit called winning - Proud moment for the Warrior Nation, as Guyana Amazon Warriors make it six wins from six games this season. And with that unbeaten run intact, they have also punched their ticket straight into the playoffs. They remain the only franchise to have qualified for the playoffs in every single edition of the Caribbean Premier League's history. They also take the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons with them into the playoffs. The Trinbago Knight Riders, meanwhile, will breathe a genuine sigh of relief here, since a Patriots win would have shown them the door out of the tournament altogether.

FOUR! Hope gets it through this time. A sixth consecutive win of the season for the Guyana Amazon Warriors as they win by 7 wickets. With this win, the Warriors are through to the playoffs. Louis pushes the length up, on off. Hope transfers the weight onto the front foot and cracks the drive wide of cover for a boundary.

No way through. Not all that short, on off. Hope stands tall on top of the bounce and spanks it hard towards the fielder at cover on the edge of the ring. There is a slight fumble from the man there but he recovers quickly to prevent the single.

Pitches it up, on middle. Hope's head falls over a bit to the off side as he flicks it straight to the man at square leg.

Scores level. Full and drifting into the pads. Hope nurdles it behind square leg for one. With this single, the 50-run stand comes up between these two experienced campaigners.

Slightly shorter, skidding through, on middle. Nabi chops it wide of cover and turns the strike over.

Pushed through, full and on middle. Nabi works it to cover.

Brings the stumps into play now, does Nedd, it is fuller as well. Nabi pushes it back to the bowler.

Bowled with a flatter trajectory, outside off, on a length. Hope plays a punchy drive to deep cover for a single.

Darted in on a length, on off. Shai checks his drive as he plays it to cover.

Probably the final over of the match. Ashmead Nedd will bowl out. 3-0-20-0 so far.

Pushes the length up, keeping it away from the batter. Hope pushes it wide of cover and keeps the strike with a single. Warriors are now a hit away, needing 4 more runs.

The length is dragged back now, Hope flashes but fails to connect and the ball sneaks inside the tramline.

Goes for the yorker but ends up being a bit too full. Shai works this low full toss with the full face of the bat to the left of long on for another brace.

Around off, on a good length. Hope leans on and slams it to the left of deep point for a couple of runs.

FOUR! Width offered, and Hope cashes in. This is on a length, outside off, Shai extends his hands and uses the pace of the ball. He opens the bat face and works it in the gap between short third and backward point for a four. 9 more needed off for the Guyana Amazon Warriors.

Wide. Fuller and sprayed well beyond the tramline on off. Shai leaves it alone.

A bit of a loosener by Louis, short and wide on off, Nabi slaps it to deep point for a single.

At long last, Jeremiah Louis is introduced into the attack. Quite astonishing to see him given the ball this late with just 15 runs needed off 24 balls. The keeper, Fletcher, is standing up to the wickets.

Flatter and shorter, on middle. Hope pats it back to the bowler from the crease.

Floated up, on off. Nabi backs away and firms the drive down to long off for another single.

FOUR! Clubbed away. Tosses it up, does Hasaranga, on middle. Nabi makes room for himself and has a heave across the line. Hits it well wide to the left of deep mid-wicket for a four.
