On the 13th fixture of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, the Saint Lucia Kings locked horns with the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia. The touring captain, Imran Tahir, won the toss and decided to bat first on a dry surface. 

Kings decided to retain the same playing eleven under the leadership of David Wiese, as Tabraiz Shamsi’s role was expected to get big on the slow surface. Guyana, on the other hand, made one change into the eleven as Jadiah Blades came into the eleven with Shamar Joseph getting a break.

Guyana Amazon Warriors fire to 202/6 thanks to Romario Shepherd’s 73*

Ben McDermott smashed 30 runs in 18 balls at a strike rate of 166.67 at the opening position with the help of three boundaries and two sixes. But they kept losing wickets at regular intervals in the first innings to find themselves at 78/5 in 12.1 overs and looked to get bundled out very cheaply.
