CPL 2025, Final: Star-packed Trinbago Knight Riders eye fifth CPL title as they face Guyana Amazon Warriors
Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders are gearing up to face each other in the final of the Caribbean Premier League final, set to take place on Sunday at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Both teams enter the decider in fine form, each having notched six wins and holding second and third place, respectively, in the points table. Both Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders are placed second and third in the points table, respectively, both with six wins in the league stage. Each team has had to rise to the occasion in high-pressure matches to reach the final, and they’ll be looking to maintain or accelerate that momentum.
Notably, spin bowling will play a decisive role, as both teams possess strong spin attacks. Guyana’s spin battery includes Imran Tahir, Moeen Ali, and Gudakesh Motie. Meanwhile, Trinbago Knight Riders counter with experienced campaigners like Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein, and the more recently impactful Usman Tariq. Nicholas Pooran, who is captaining TKR, has had batting highs this season, delivering in the crunch matches, and he will be expected to inspire TKR's batting attack.

For Guyana Amazon Warriors, this will be the eighth time they will be heading into the CPL final, the most by any franchise in the tournament's history. With a formidable squad, they will look to weather the challenges and lift the title. Only once have they won the CPL title—back in 2023.
