Team Previews
St Kitts And Nevis Patriots Preview
The Patriots started their CPL 2025 campaign with a dominant victory over Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, restricting them to 121 before chasing the target in just 15 overs. Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher gave them a rapid start, while Alick Athanaze’s composed unbeaten 37 ensured a comfortable finish.
Kyle Mayers, who scored 268 runs and took seven wickets in last year’s edition, is again expected to play a pivotal role. Rilee Rossouw provides solidity in the middle order, while Jason Holder’s all-round ability adds balance.
The bowling attack is a real strength. Waqar Salamkheil’s 4/22 in the opener, combined with the pace threat of Naseem Shah and Fazalhaq Farooqi, makes them capable of dismantling any batting order. With such depth in both departments, SKNP will look to continue their winning start.
Predicted XI: Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher (wk), Kyle Mayers, Rilee Rossouw, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder (c), Jyd Goolie, Abbas Afridi, Naseem Shah, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Waqar Salamkheil
Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview
Guyana Amazon Warriors, last season’s table-toppers and finalists, enter CPL 2025 with another formidable squad. Shimron Hetmyer leads the batting power after scoring 402 runs at a blistering strike rate of 185.25 last year. Shai Hope, fresh from stellar international form, adds consistency and class at the top.
Romario Shepherd and Moeen Ali bring depth and hitting firepower in the middle order. The Warriors’ bowling remains their biggest asset, led by captain Imran Tahir and supported by Gudakesh Motie’s accurate spin. Shamar Joseph’s pace and Jediah Blades’ new-ball swing give them an edge on Warner Park’s surface.
