Guyana Amazon Warriors beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 7 wickets (with 9 balls remaining) – Caribbean Premier League Match Report
Guyana Amazon Warriors won by 7 wickets (with 9 balls remaining) in the 28th match of 39 in the Caribbean Premier League 2026 at Providence Stadium. Mohammad Nabi delivered a match-defining all-round performance – 4/17 from 4 overs with the ball and an unbeaten 25 off 21 with the bat – as Guyana extended their perfect record to 6 wins from 6 matches. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, batting first after winning the toss, managed just 128 all out in 19.2 overs, a total that proved well short of competitive at Providence Stadium.
St Kitts and Nevis Innings – Athanaze Lone Bright Spot
St Kitts and Nevis got off to a chaotic start. Kyle Mayers struck 20 off 12 balls (3 fours, 1 six) at a strike rate of 167 but was clean bowled at 34/2 in the 3.5th over. Johnson Charles (13 off 15) fell at 39/1, and Andre Fletcher departed for just 4 at 39/3 in the 4.6th over.
Alick Athanaze was the lone resistance, striking 52 off 39 balls (2 fours, 4 sixes) at a strike rate of 133 to anchor the middle overs. He added crucial runs with Dasun Shanaka (20 off 20, 1 four, 1 six), but the partnership could not stabilise the innings. Jason Holder managed just 7 at 56/4, and Wanindu Hasaranga fell for 4 at 64/6 in the 10.6th over. The lower order crumbled – Navin Bidaisee was bowled for 1 at 114/8, and the tail added just 14 runs across the final three wickets.
Mohammad Nabi was the standout bowler, taking 4/17 from 4 overs at an economy of 4.25 – a miserly display that suffocated St Kitts and Nevis’ scoring. Romario Shepherd took 3/16 from 3 overs with 1 maiden, while Shamar Joseph claimed 2/22 from 3.2 overs. Dwaine Pretorius took 1/28 from 3 overs, and Imran Tahir bowled 4 overs for 26 runs without a breakthrough.
Guyana’s Chase – Clinical and Comfortable
Chasing 129, Guyana made light work of the target. Rahmanullah Gurbaz set the tone with a brisk 39 off 25 balls (5 fours, 2 sixes) at a strike rate of 156, putting Guyana ahead of the rate from the outset. He was clean bowled at 58/1 in the 5.3rd over, but Mavendra Dindyal (17 off 16, 2 fours) kept the momentum going with a 16-run stand before falling at 74/2 in the 8.3rd over.
Shai Hope anchored the chase with an unbeaten 38 off 44 balls (3 fours) at a strike rate of 86, providing the stability needed to see Guyana home. Shimron Hetmyer fell for just 1 at 78/3 in the 10.3rd over, but Mohammad Nabi finished the job with an unbeaten 25 off 21 (2 fours, 1 six) at a strike rate of 119, sealing victory with 9 balls remaining. St Kitts and Nevis’ bowling was wayward – Jason Holder conceded 31 from 2 overs at an economy of 15.5, while Wanindu Hasaranga took 1/23 from 4 overs and Navin Bidaisee claimed 2/20 from 4 overs.
Statz MVP: Mohammad Nabi (Statz Rating: 142.95)

Turning Point
The match turned decisively in the 10th over of St Kitts and Nevis’ innings when Wanindu Hasaranga was clean bowled for 4 at 64/6. Alick Athanaze had built a 64-run partnership with Shanaka, but Hasaranga’s dismissal exposed the lower order. From that point, St Kitts and Nevis added just 64 runs across the final 8.2 overs for 4 wickets – a collapse that left them with an inadequate total. Mohammad Nabi‘s 4/17 ensured there was no recovery.
