Match preview & overview
Warriors hold off Kings by 14 runs to go back-to-back at Providence
Guyana Amazon Warriors beat St Lucia Kings by 14 runs at Providence Stadium on 17 September 2025 in the Caribbean Premier League. Batting first after St Lucia Kings won the toss and chose to field, the Warriors posted 157 all out. The Kings' chase never recovered from a powerplay that produced only 37 runs and cost three wickets. They were eventually dismissed for 143, with G Motie earning the Player of the Match award. The Warriors' victory extends their head-to-head lead over the Kings to 7 wins from 13 meetings, and marks their second win over St Lucia in this year's competition.
The Warriors' innings followed a familiar T20 pattern: a solid powerplay of 45 for 1, a productive middle phase of 62 for 4, and then a late burst of 50 for 5 in the death overs. Providence's average death-overs contribution across 113 T20 matches is 38 runs, so the Warriors' 50 in that phase pushed them meaningfully beyond par. The total of 157, though below the ground's average first-innings score of 170, proved sufficient on a pitch that tightened during the second innings.
