Match preview & overview

St Lucia Kings chase 203 to beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by 4 wickets

St Lucia Kings chased down 203 to beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by 4 wickets at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Gros Islet on 26 August 2025. The Kings reached their target off the back of a blistering powerplay, scoring 86 runs for just 1 wicket in the first six overs to effectively take the game away from the Warriors early. AWJ Auguste was named Player of the Match. The Warriors had themselves posted a competitive 202/6, fuelled by a strong death-overs display of 74 runs, but found their bowling unable to stem the tide once the Kings' openers took charge. It was St Lucia's first win over Guyana in CPL 2025 after losing the pair of earlier meetings this season.

The target was well beyond the venue's average second-innings score of 165 across 71 T20 matches. Chasing sides do win here more often than not, at a 56 per cent success rate, but 203 was still a sizeable ask. The Kings made it look straightforward through their powerplay phase, and even when they lost three wickets in the middle overs for 86 runs, they had enough in the bank to carry the pressure into the death.

Guyana Amazon Warriors won the toss and chose to bat, a decision that runs against the grain of what this ground tends to reward. Fielding first is the preference here, with toss winners opting to field 75 per cent of the time. Batting first is not without merit when it produces a total above 200, but the Kings' powerplay dominance neutralised whatever advantage the Warriors hoped to gain.

Angle 03

Warriors' death-overs burst went unrewarded

Guyana Amazon Warriors scored 74 runs in the final phase for 1 wicket, well above the ground's average death contribution of 33 runs. Despite that late charge taking them to 202/6, it wasn't enough on a venue that favours the chasing side 56 per cent of the time.

Angle 04

Auguste the difference-maker for St Lucia

Angle 05

Warriors chose to bat despite toss-field bias
