Antigua & Barbuda Falcons take on Guyana Amazon Warriors in Match 9 of CPL 2026 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound on 2026-08-23. With the double round-robin format meaning every result carries weight, both teams will be desperate to claim two points.

The Amazon Warriors and Falcons represent different chapters of CPL history. Guyana has been here since the beginning, carrying the weight of five final defeats. Antigua is building something new, and these encounters pit established hunger against youthful ambition.

The Falcons are the newest franchise in the CPL, replacing the Jamaica Tallawahs from 2024. Brandon King anchors the batting with his elegant stroke play, while Hayden Walsh Jr. provides a potent leg-spin option in the middle overs. Chris Green’s miserly off-spin has been a feature of CPL cricket for years.

The Amazon Warriors are built around the explosive batting of Shimron Hetmyer and the guile of veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir. Romario Shepherd provides pace and power with both bat and ball, making the Warriors a balanced and dangerous outfit on their day.

Named after the greatest batsman the Caribbean has ever produced, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound carries an aura that few cricket grounds can match. The 10,000-capacity venue hosted matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup and has been a fortress for Antiguan cricket ever since. The stands fill with colour and noise as local fans bring steel drums, horns, and an energy that makes visiting teams feel every run they concede.
