Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) will take on Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF) in Match No. 30 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Wednesday, September 9. Both teams have already secured their places in the playoffs, but there is still plenty at stake as the league stage approaches its end.
Imran Tahir’s Guyana Amazon Warriors have been the standout team in the tournament so far. They are currently on a six-match winning streak and most recently defeated St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by seven wickets. Meanwhile, Moeen Ali’s Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have won five of their nine matches, with three defeats and one no-result. They also secured a win in their previous game, beating Trinbago Knight Riders by eight runs. However, they will be looking to turn the tables after suffering a seven-wicket defeat against Guyana earlier in the season.

Providence Stadium Pitch Report
The Providence Stadium has offered challenging conditions for batters during the two CPL 2026 matches played at the venue so far. The surface has generally been on the slower side, with the ball not always coming onto the bat comfortably. Batters may need to spend some time at the crease before attempting to play aggressively. Stroke-making could become easier once they adjust to the pace of the pitch, while bowlers who can vary their pace are likely to find assistance.
Both matches at the venue have been won by the chasing teams, suggesting that batting second could be an advantage.
A score around 150-160 could prove competitive, while teams batting first may want to push beyond 165 to put enough pressure on the chasing side.Squads
