Amazon Warriors Make It Six in Six After Nabi’s All-Round Brilliance

Guyana Amazon Warriors continued their unbeaten run in the CPL 2026, recording their sixth consecutive victory with a comfortable seven-wicket win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Providence.

Mohammad Nabi delivered an all-round performance to lead the Warriors to another dominant victory. Nabi claimed four wickets for 17 runs and later contributed an unbeaten 25 with the bat as Guyana chased down a modest target of 129 with nine balls to spare.

The victory was the Warriors’ second straight win since the CPL caravan moved to Providence and strengthened their position at the top of the points table.

Nabi, Bowlers Tear Through Patriots

After winning the toss, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Jason Holder elected to bat, and his side initially appeared set for a competitive total.

Johnson Charles and Kyle Mayers put together a brisk opening partnership worth 34 runs in less than four overs. However, the Patriots quickly lost momentum, slipping to 39 for three during the powerplay.

Alick Athanaze provided the main resistance, scoring a patient 52 from 39 deliveries. But the Warriors' bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals.

Romario Shepherd and Shamar Joseph struck early before Nabi joined the attack and dismissed Holder in the ninth over, with the Patriots captain caught in the deep while attempting a slog sweep.

Nabi then dismantled the lower order, removing Wanindu Hasaranga, Navin Bidaisee and Jeremiah Louis in quick succession. Hasaranga was bowled attempting a reverse sweep, while Bidaisee and Louis also fell to Nabi as the Patriots slipped to 114 for eight in the 18th over.

Joseph had earlier accounted for the dangerous Dasun Shanaka, while Dwaine Pretorius removed Ashmead Nedd to leave the Patriots nine down.

Athanaze finally accelerated late in the innings, striking a four and six off Pretorius, but Joseph returned for the final over and dismissed the set batter to wrap up the Patriots' innings at 128 with four balls remaining.

Gurbaz Sets Up Comfortable Chase

With only 129 required, Guyana Amazon Warriors never appeared under serious pressure.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz provided the early impetus, smashing 39 from 25 balls as the Warriors raced to 58 for one at the end of the powerplay.

Gurbaz was eventually dismissed in the sixth over, but the damage had already been done.

Mavendra Dindyal struggled to find his rhythm and made 17 from 16 balls before Navin Bidaisee dismissed him. Bidaisee then struck again soon afterwards, removing Shimron Hetmyer to reduce the Warriors to 78 for three in the 11th over.

However, the Patriots could not capitalize on the opening.

Shai Hope and Nabi calmly guided the Warriors through the remainder of the chase. Hope remained unbeaten on 38 from 44 balls, hitting three fours, while Nabi finished unbeaten on 25 from 21 deliveries, including two fours and a six.

The Warriors reached 132 for three with nine balls remaining to seal another comprehensive victory.

Warriors Continue Perfect Start

The result means Guyana Amazon Warriors have now won all six of their matches in CPL 2026, establishing themselves as the team to beat at the top of the table.

While the Warriors could arguably have finished the chase more quickly to improve their net run rate, their priority remains the same: keep winning.

With six victories from six games, the Warriors are firmly in control of their campaign and showing few signs of slowing down.
