Guyana Amazon Warriors( GAW ) is set to face Antigua And Barbuda Falcon( ABF ) in their 26th match during The Caribbean Premier League 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Providence Stadium on Wednesday, September 10.
Guyana Amazon Warriors come into this match after a narrow, low-scoring defeat against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, where they fell short by just five runs in Match 25 on Sunday. Their bowlers did a solid job, with Gudakesh Motie and Hassan Khan both taking two wickets, while Romario Shepherd chipped in with one. Imran Tahir was particularly impressive, keeping things tight with his economical spell. However, the batting remains a concern, especially the opening duo of Ben McDermott and Moeen Ali, who are under pressure to deliver. Shai Hope, batting at number three, continues to be the dependable figure in the lineup.
On the other hand, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will be full of confidence after pulling off a thrilling last-ball victory against bottom-placed Barbados Royals on Friday. Chasing 188, they got over the line by four wickets, thanks largely to a brilliant unbeaten 85 from Andries Gous. Wicketkeeper-batter Amir Jangoo also adds firepower at the top, giving them a dangerous opening combination. While their batting looks strong, the bowling will need to step up after managing just four wickets in that game. Salman Irshad and Obed McCoy struck once each, but more is expected from experienced names like Shakib Al Hasan, Jayden Seales, and Imad Wasim in this contest.

Guyana Amazon Warriors: Ben McDermott, Moeen Ali, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Hassan Khan, Keemo Paul, Dwaine Pretorius, Romario Shepherd, Quentin Sampson, Gudakesh Motie, Imran Tahir (c).

GAW vs ABF Pitch Report:
The pitch at Providence Stadium in Guyana usually offers a fair contest between bat and ball, though it often leans slightly in favor of the bowlers. Early on, seamers can get some movement with the new ball, while spinners become more influential as the surface slows down and starts to grip. Batting here requires patience and smart shot selection since the ball doesn’t always come onto the bat smoothly. In T20s, a total around 160–170 is generally competitive, while in ODIs, anything above 280 can put real pressure on the chasing side. Overall, it’s a surface where disciplined bowling and calculated batting tend to succeed.
GAW vs ABF Weather Report:
For the match at Providence Stadium, Guyana on September 10 at 7:00 PM local time, the weather is expected to be warm and humid, typical of the tropical climate in the region. Temperatures should hover around 26–28 °C (79–82 °F) with high humidity, which could make conditions feel a bit sticky. Skies are likely to be partly cloudy, with a moderate chance of short, passing showers that may briefly interrupt play. Overall, while conditions are generally favorable for cricket, teams and fans should be prepared for possible rain delays, and the humid air may influence both bowling and fielding efforts.
