On the 23rd fixture of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, the Guyana Amazon Warriors met the Trinbago Knight Riders at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. The home captain, Imran Tahir, won the toss and decided to bowl first on a surface that was offering spin on the slow track. 

Guyana decided to make one solitary change to the playing eleven. Keemo Paul came into the side as Jediah Blades made his way out of the eleven. On the other hand, Keacy Carty came into the side for the Knight Riders with Terrance Hinds going out.
