CPL 2026: Amazon Warriors move to second after DLS win over Knight Riders

Guyana: Guyana Amazon Warriors rose to second position after defeating Trinbago Knight Riders by 9 runs, according to the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method as the rain halted the Knight Riders’ chase 172/7 in 16 overs.

The match was held at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago on August 31, 2026.

Trinbago Knight Riders won the toss and elected to field first as Amazon Warriors were put in to bat first, scoring 185/5 in 16 overs, setting the target of 182 runs in 16 overs to compensate for the fact that Amazon Warriors’ top order was already compromised when the rain came down.

Considering that, the DLS math slightly penalised their final total of 185, recording the Trinbago Knight Riders' winning target to 182.

Shimron Hetmyer claimed the title of Player of the Match by hitting a century, scoring 111(43)*.
