Caribbean Premier League 2025: Most Likely Winner Analysis

With the 2025 CPL season past the halfway mark, the race for the title is heating up. Trinbago Knight Riders and Saint Lucia Kings have emerged as the leading contenders, while Guyana Amazon Warriors lurk as a dangerous outsider. Here's how the table looks as of September 2.

Position Team Matches Won Lost Points Net RR
1 🇹🇹 Trinbago Knight Riders 6 5 1 10 +0.776
2 🇱🇨 Saint Lucia Kings 7 4 1 10 +0.628
3 🇦🇬 Antigua & Barbuda Falcons 8 3 4 7 -1.075
4 🇬🇾 Guyana Amazon Warriors 4 2 2 4 +0.791
5 🇰🇳 St Kitts & Nevis Patriots 7 2 5 4 -0.117
6 🇧🇧 Barbados Royals 4 0 3 1 -0.599
  • 🇹🇹 Trinbago Knight Riders: On top with five straight wins, powered by Pollard, Pooran, and a deep batting lineup. With Bravo coaching and Narine anchoring the bowling, they're the bookmakers' favorite.
  • 🇱🇨 Saint Lucia Kings: The defending champions remain strong thanks to David Wiese's leadership and consistent team balance. They trail slightly on net run rate but are very much in the hunt.
  • 🇬🇾 Guyana Amazon Warriors: Fewer matches played but historically consistent, with a positive NRR and Imran Tahir's experience making them a dangerous dark horse.

Outlook: With a packed schedule ahead, the CPL 2025 title looks most likely to stay with Trinbago Knight Riders. Still, Saint Lucia's championship pedigree and Guyana's finals experience mean the race is far from over.
