Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders Standings: The Gap Is Getting Bigger in CPL 2026

Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders Standings: GAW Unbeaten After 4 Wins in CPL 2026

The Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders standings tell two very different stories in CPL 2026. Guyana Amazon Warriors have made a perfect start with four wins from four matches, while Trinbago Knight Riders have managed only two victories from seven games.

After their latest meeting, Guyana sit second with 8 points and a remarkable +2.604 net run rate, while Trinbago are fifth with 4 points and a -0.130 NRR. The Warriors have played three fewer matches but already hold twice as many points as TKR.

And their latest head-to-head result only widened that contrast.

Guyana defeated Trinbago by nine runs via DLS after Shimron Hetmyer produced one of the standout innings of the CPL 2026 season — an unbeaten 111 from 43 balls.

Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders Standings 2026

Here is where the two teams currently stand in the CPL 2026 points table:

Team	Record	Points / NRR
Guyana Amazon Warriors	4-0	8 / +2.604
Trinbago Knight Riders	2-5	4 / -0.130

The difference is significant.

Guyana have collected 8 points from only four matches, which works out to the maximum possible 2 points per game.

Trinbago, meanwhile, have 4 points from seven matches — approximately 0.57 points per game.

That means Guyana’s points-per-match rate is currently 3.5 times TKR’s rate.

The standings become even more striking when net run rate is considered. Guyana’s +2.604 NRR is comfortably positive, whereas Trinbago are below zero at -0.130.

CPL 2026 Current Points Table

The broader CPL table helps explain why Guyana’s position is so strong.

Position	Team	Points
1	Antigua & Barbuda Falcons	9
2	Guyana Amazon Warriors	8
3	Saint Lucia Kings	8
4	Jamaica Kingsmen	8
5	Trinbago Knight Riders	4
6	Barbados Tridents	4
7	St Kitts & Nevis Patriots	3

Guyana are not actually first in the table despite being the only team here with a perfect four-win record. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have 9 points from eight matches, including one no-result.

Guyana, however, have played only four matches.

Saint Lucia Kings and Jamaica Kingsmen are also sitting on 8 points, but both have already played substantially more matches than the Warriors.

That gives Guyana something arguably more valuable than their current second position: matches in hand.

Why Guyana Amazon Warriors’ +2.604 NRR Matters

Points tell only part of the story.

The Warriors’ +2.604 net run rate indicates that they have not simply been scraping through their opening matches. Their results have produced a sizeable run-rate advantage.

Compare the two teams:

Guyana Amazon Warriors: +2.604
Trinbago Knight Riders: -0.130

That’s a difference of 2.734 NRR points.

In a tightly packed points table, where three teams currently have eight points, net run rate can become extremely important for separating teams.

If Guyana continue collecting victories while protecting even a portion of their current NRR advantage, they will put themselves in an excellent position in the race for the leading places.

Latest GAW vs TKR Match Changed the Picture Further

The latest Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders meeting was played at Queen’s Park Oval in a rain-affected contest reduced to 16 overs per side.

Trinbago initially put Guyana under pressure.

Glenn Phillips was dismissed for a duck and Shai Hope made 16 as the Warriors lost early wickets.

Then Shimron Hetmyer completely changed the match.

He smashed an unbeaten:

111 runs from 43 balls

with 8 fours and 9 sixes.

His hundred came from only 40 deliveries, equalling the record for the fastest century in CPL history.

Guyana eventually reached 185/5 from 16 overs.

Because of the rain adjustment, Trinbago were set a revised target of 182.

TKR’s Chase Started Well — Then Came the Collapse

Trinbago had reason to believe they could chase the target.

They reached 52/1 during the Powerplay, with Nicholas Pooran injecting serious momentum into the innings.

Pooran struck 43 from only 16 deliveries.

But what happened next explains part of the difference visible in the current standings.

TKR went from:

52/1 to 68/5.

Four wickets had effectively transformed the chase.

Mohammad Nabi played a major role in that collapse and eventually finished with 3/20.

Alex Hales then gave Trinbago another chance with 55 from 24 balls, including seven sixes, but the required rate had climbed too far.

TKR finished on 172/7, leaving Guyana with a nine-run DLS victory.

The Numbers Behind Guyana’s Latest Win

Guyana Amazon Warriors	Trinbago Knight Riders
185/5	172/7
Hetmyer 111*	Hales 55
Won by 9 runs (DLS)	Target: 182

There is another number worth examining.

Guyana were 19/2 early in the innings before Hetmyer’s recovery. They therefore did not win simply because everything went their way from the beginning.

They recovered from a difficult position and then successfully defended the adjusted target.

That ability to recover helps explain why their four-match record remains perfect.

Hetmyer’s 111 Was Bigger Than Just a Century

Hetmyer’s innings deserves additional context because of how quickly it changed the match.

His 111 from 43 balls represents a strike rate of approximately 258.14.

Nine sixes alone contributed 54 runs, while eight fours added another 32.

That means 86 of his 111 runs came in boundaries — roughly 77.5% of his total.

Guyana scored 185 runs as a team, meaning Hetmyer personally accounted for exactly 60% of their total before considering the fact that he remained unbeaten.

The acceleration was particularly severe late in the innings. Guyana added 85 runs across the final four overs, with Hetmyer and Romario Shepherd doing the damage.

Those are the kinds of passages that can have a major effect not only on a match result but also on net run rate over a tournament.

Guyana vs Trinbago Head-to-Head Record

While the Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders standings currently favour Guyana heavily, the longer-term rivalry is much closer.

Available CPL head-to-head records list 34 meetings, with Trinbago winning 18 and Guyana winning 16.

Team	CPL H2H Wins
Trinbago Knight Riders	18
Guyana Amazon Warriors	16

So TKR still have the historical edge.

But Guyana’s latest victory has reduced that advantage considerably.

Trinbago have won approximately 52.9% of those 34 meetings compared with Guyana’s 47.1%.

That is very different from the picture painted by CPL 2026, where Guyana are currently unbeaten and TKR have lost five of seven.

Why TKR’s Position Is Becoming Difficult

Trinbago’s situation is not impossible, but there is far less room for error now.

They have already completed seven matches and have only four points.

Guyana have the same number of losses as they had before the tournament began: zero.

More importantly, Guyana already have four more points despite playing three fewer games.

For TKR, every remaining fixture therefore carries increasing importance. They need wins, but their negative NRR means the margin of those results could also become relevant if qualification positions are decided between teams level on points.

Another GAW vs TKR Match Is Still to Come

This rivalry isn’t finished yet.

Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders are scheduled to meet again at Providence Stadium in Guyana on September 11.

That makes the standings particularly interesting.

TKR will have an opportunity to answer their latest defeat, while Guyana could strengthen their advantage and potentially change the all-time head-to-head balance further.

By then, however, the points table may look very different.

What the Standings Really Tell Us

Looking only at positions — second versus fifth — doesn’t fully capture the gap between these teams.

The more revealing comparison is:

Guyana: 4 matches, 4 wins, 8 points, +2.604 NRR

Trinbago: 7 matches, 2 wins, 5 losses, 4 points, -0.130 NRR.

Guyana have earned twice as many points while playing only a little over half as many matches.

They also carry one of the strongest net run rates in the competition.

TKR still have the historical head-to-head advantage, but CPL 2026 belongs firmly to Guyana in this comparison so far.

The September 11 rematch now has an added storyline: can Trinbago begin closing the gap, or will the Amazon Warriors turn their unbeaten start into an even stronger position near the top of the CPL 2026 standings?
