As the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) enters its playoff push, a highly anticipated rematch is set to unfold on Thursday night, with the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons heading to Providence to face the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the iconic Guyana National Stadium. Scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m. local time, the 30th fixture of this year’s tournament carries extra weight for the Falcons, who enter the contest hungry to reverse a lopsided loss to the Warriors from earlier in the season.
The two sides last met on August 23 at Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, where the Falcons crumbled under pressure from the Guyana bowling attack, being dismissed for a meager total of 116 runs. The Amazon Warriors wasted no time in chasing down the target, reaching the required 121 runs for the loss of just three wickets in under 10 overs – specifically 9.5 overs – securing a dominant seven-wicket win with a staggering 61 balls left to spare. That one-sided result has left the Falcons eager to turn the tables and prove that their performance on that day was not a true reflection of their form ahead of the upcoming playoff round.
On the opposite side, the Guyana Amazon Warriors carry significant momentum into tonight’s home fixture, which marks another stop on their current home leg of the tournament. The side has notched back-to-back convincing wins on their home turf in recent days, kickstarting their good run with an eight-wicket triumph over the Jamaica Kingsmen on September 4. They followed that up with another polished performance on Sunday, when they once again secured a seven-wicket victory, this time against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. With the crowd behind them and their winning streak intact, the Warriors will be looking to extend their positive run and solidify their position ahead of the playoffs.
