Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 33rd Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026 - CommentaryGAW vs TKR, 33rd Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026 - Commentary

That's game 33 of the CPL done and dusted. Another team has been evicted. Yesterday, it was Patriots. Today, the TKR side have been eliminated. 5 teams remain. 2 have already qualified. The other three continue their helter skelter march for the play-offs. We will march away for the moment as well. But we will be back soon with more cricketing action. Bye bye...

Imran Tahir: It is special doing it in front of the home crowd (100 wins in CPL for GAW), and, you know, they always come and support us. So I just want to say a big thank you to them. Our president, Dr. Irfan, Dr. Ramroop, you know, they support me unbelievable. As we feel like, you know, we're part of the family, and, you know, we've been living here for a very long time, and I think that's what they made us feel. And I think that's very important. You know, when you go to a franchise, and that's what I think kind of things you're expecting. And if you get that, I think you're in a very happy environment, and I'm pretty sure, you know, all of us, we will do a review. And that's the key, I think we doing really well. Yeah, I mean, you can see him, you know, he (Mehidy) played a big part. He had a good tour in Australia, and that's what we want. You know, he's been playing there on international arena for some long time. So yeah, look, really, really happy for him, the way he came and bowled. You know, it was amazing. You know, he got the crucial wickets for us, and yeah, very, very happy for him. Look, I said that many times before when you go and play any sport, you always see opportunity, an opportunity to represent such a beautiful nation, you know. And I think we gonna take that game (When asked about their final league game) very seriously. You know, we gonna maybe try and give every opportunity to the youngsters. And like I said, you know, we don't wanna take anything for granted. Our process should be right. I just want to say a big thank you. It's not easy every year. This support has been unbelievable. And we getting the support every year more and more. Yeah, you know, I have no words to say thank you, but I'm really looking forward for Barbados.

Nic Pooran: I think 126. Obviously, it wasn't enough. We got a really good squad. I mean, we haven't been good, definitely in this tournament, but again kudos to the guys. We had a chance coming here, coming to Guyana. We knew if we win this game we had a chance. You know, the things that happened in the past, that happened for a reason. We had some control about it, but things that happened in a tournament. Again, I just feel like there’s a bit of transition in coaching as well. I would like senior players to other young players getting opportunities as well, and for them to take opportunities as well. We kind of faltered there, but in saying that, it's a team and it’s a opportunity for the young guys to do and to embrace. We need to obviously play next year again and try to represent the people of Trinidad and Tobago. It’s five-time champions, and this is a brand, the TKR brand, that people across the country of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean and the world are very proud of.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Great moment for him. I am playing CPL for the first time, getting the Man of the match award and I was enjoy a lot during the match. I was trying to bowl in the right areas and was looking to get the wickets. I knew the wicket was turning. Great moment for me. They look after me. Especially, thanks to the management. We have one match left against Barbados. So hopefully in the next match we'll win.

22:43 Local Time, 02:43 GMT, 08:13 IST: Four wins out of five at home for Guyana. 127 could have been tricky the way Narine started but Hope stayed calm and saw the chase through. Hetmyer and Quentin Sampson played little cameos and that was enough. TKR needed one more spinner I guess to put more pressure. Tariq and Narine were on top of their game. But Hosein and Goolie didn't have a great evening. Guyana I guess pocketed the game once they had restricted the opposition to 127. From then on it was about playing sensible cricket and Hope held one end till he knew he had his team into the safe zone. Towards the end, he played a few shots to finish it off with 8 balls to spare. Guyana have been unstoppable. They are taking a lap of honour. They are firmly on top of the table and have just extended their lead there.
