September 10, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

The Guyana Amazon Warriors secured first place in the standings behind a dominant bowling performance led by Imran Tahir alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who was making his first-ever appearance in the Caribbean Premier League. Together, the two bowlers overwhelmed the St Lucia Kings lineup by claiming eight wickets while conceding only 30 runs between them.

Tahir paced the effort by capturing five dismissals, while Sampson contributed critical maximums to propel the Amazon Warriors across the line and wrap up the top ranking.
