Empress 136 for 9 (Henry 41*, Lanning 31, Burns 2-3) beat Amazon Warriors 138 for 7 (Campbelle 56, Grimmond 45, Mlaba 2-15) by one wicket (DLS)

Chinelle Henry pulled off a stunning last-ball heist at Kensington Oval, powering Jamaica Empress to a nail-biting one-wicket victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors in their Limacol WCPL debut.

Needing 17 runs from the final over with Henry well set and three wickets in hand, the Empress found themselves staring down the barrel. With the match hanging in the balance, the drama intensified as two wickets fell via run-outs, with the Empress desperate to score off Warriors captain Chloe Tryon while keeping Henry on strike.

Eight runs were still required from the final two deliveries. Henry then produced the moment of magic, smashing back-to-back sixes to seal a remarkable victory in a contest that swung from one side to the other throughout the game.

TKR spin by Tridents to remain in playoff hunt

Knight Riders 147 for 6 (Pooran 59, Munro 38, Motie 3-29) beat Tridents 112 (Carter 21, Rutherford 21, Narine 4-12) by 35 runs

An innings of 59 from Nicholas Pooran and four wickets from Sunil Narine were enough to keep the Trinbago Knight Riders’ slim qualification hopes alive with a 35-run victory over the Barbados Tridents at the Kensington Oval in the 2026 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

Pooran was 1 off 10 balls and 9 from 14 before a trio of sixes off the bowling of Mujeeb ur Rahmann got his innings going. That acceleration saw him reach his fifty in just 35 balls as he batted brilliantly against a Tridents attack that struggled to contain him.

In reply, the hosts could not get on top of the hugely experienced Knight Riders spin bowlers who wreaked havoc in the opening exchanges of the chase. Narine claimed three wickets inside the powerplay, dismissing both Quinton de Kock and Rivaldo Clarke for ducks.

The hosts never recovered from the early wickets, losing their first home game of the season.

Shanaka races to fastest CPL hundred as Patriots conquer the Kings

Patriots 235 for 4 (Shanaka 121*, Fletcher 64; Forde 2-48) beat Kings 98 (Seifert 50, Campbell 11; Louis 5-10) by 137 runs

The St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots put on a complete display to crush the Saint Lucia Kings by 137 runs in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at Warner Park on Thursday.

Dasun Shanaka lowered the previous 40-ball record for the fastest CPL century before Jeremiah Louis claimed a fifer, helping the Patriots end their home stand with back-to-back victories.

Despite losing Kyle Mayers (1) early to Matthew Forde (2/48), Andre Fletcher joined Johnson Charles to push the hosts through the powerplay at 59 for 1.

After being dropped twice in the seventh over, Fletcher punished the Kings by racing to a half-century in just 23 balls. He and Charles shared in an 81-run (48 balls) second-wicket foundational stand for the Patriots.

Then Shanaka stole the show. He and fellow Sri Lankan Wanindu Hasaranga scored at a remarkable strike rate of 300 in their 93-run unbeaten stand.
