News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Sept. 17, 2026: Guyana Amazon Warriors Women booked their place in today’s Women’s Caribbean Premier League Final after a tense seven-wicket win over defending champions Barbados Tridents at Kensington Oval, setting up a rematch with Trinbago Knight Riders Women and raising the possibility of a historic cricket double for Guyana this year.
Overnight rain reduced Wednesday’s playoff to eight overs per side. Chasing 70 to reach the final, Tazmin Brits and Shemaine Campbelle put on a match-winning 51-run partnership from just 27 balls. Campbelle smashed 22 off 12 deliveries before falling to left-arm spinner Qiana Joseph, but Brits, named Player of the Match, finished unbeaten on 35 as captain Chloe Tryon sealed the win with a boundary off the final over, reaching the target with four balls to spare.
Earlier, Tryon won the toss and chose to bowl, restricting the Tridents to 69 for 4. Maddy Green’s unbeaten 30 off 16 balls was the standout innings, while Erin Burns was economical for Guyana with figures of 1 for 11.
Setting up a possible historic double
The win sends Guyana Amazon Warriors Women into Thursday’s WCPL Final against Trinbago Knight Riders Women, a side they beat by 25 runs in their last league-stage meeting before TKR failed to chase down 120 in that game. According to betting analysis from TheTopBookies, an innings total of 165 or more is expected to be a winning score at Kensington Oval, with teams batting first having won three of six league-stage matches at the venue this season; separate odds from Dailysports have favored Guyana in recent head-to-head matchups against Trinbago.
The women’s final comes as Guyana’s men’s Amazon Warriors sit atop the CPL 2026 points table following a dominant home stretch, positioning both Guyana franchises for a genuine shot at silverware in the same season, a feat that would be unprecedented for the country in the tournament’s history.
Guyana Amazon Warriors Women have reached a WCPL final once before, in 2023, losing to Barbados. The team has never won the tournament since it began in 2022.
