Table of Contents

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 final promises a mouthwatering battle as Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) lock horns with Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) at Providence Stadium, Guyana, on Sunday. With both teams boasting star-studded lineups and red-hot form, fans can expect a night of high drama and unforgettable cricket.

GAW have looked solid throughout the tournament, finishing second in the group stage. They powered into the title decider by defeating the Saint Lucia Kings in Qualifier 1. A balanced side, the Warriors will rely heavily on their consistency and home advantage in front of a buzzing Guyanese crowd.

Meanwhile, TKR – captained by Nicholas Pooran – had to take the tougher playoff route but peaked at the right moment. Pooran’s aggressive batting and inspirational leadership have been key to their revival, while experienced campaigners like Kieron Pollard continue to add depth and stability.

The Providence Stadium pitch in Guyana for CPL 2025 has shown itself to be fairly balanced, though bowlers tend to gain the upper hand as the match wears on. In the early stages, batters enjoy consistent bounce and a fast outfield, which makes scoring relatively easy. As the overs progress, however, the surface slows down, creating difficulties for shot-making and bringing spinners and slower variations into play. With the average first-innings total hovering around 151 to 159, teams batting first usually look to push beyond 160, since defending becomes easier once the pitch begins to grip and turn.

Fast bowlers can make use of early seam movement and swing, especially under lights, but once the ball gets older, cutters and changes of pace are more effective. Spinners in particular thrive in the middle overs, often breaking partnerships as batters struggle to accelerate. Because of this, captains generally prefer to chase, hoping to capitalize on favorable batting conditions at the start. Yet, in a high-stakes match like the final, trend often shifts toward batting first, as the pitch typically deteriorates, making it tougher for chasing teams to adapt against spin and slower bowling in the second innings.
