Cricket fans can look forward to an exciting showcase of world-class women’s T20 cricket as the 2025 Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) comes to Guyana from September 6 to 17.
The tournament will feature three teams: the Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders, who will battle it out over six group stage matches, culminating in a thrilling final on September 17.
All fixtures are scheduled to be held at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, a venue renowned for its electric atmosphere and passionate support.
The Barbados Royals, defending champions for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024), will aim for a historic third title, while the Warriors and Knight Riders seek to dethrone them and claim the WCPL crown.
