News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Sept. 3, 2026: Antigua & Barbuda Falcons sit atop the CPL 2026 points table with 11 points from nine matches, holding the lead despite three losses, as the tournament heads toward its knockout stage later this month.
Guyana Amazon Warriors sit second with 8 points, the only unbeaten side left in the competition at 4-0, though they have played fewer matches than most of the field. Their net run rate of +2.604, by far the best in the tournament, reflects a run of dominant victories, most recently a nine-run win over Trinbago Knight Riders in which Shimron Hetmyer struck an unbeaten 111.
Jamaica Kingsmen and St. Lucia Kings are tied on 8 points apiece, both at 4-4 records but separated from Guyana by net run rate. St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots sit fifth with 7 points after a dominant 137-run win over St. Lucia Kings, powered by Dasun Shanaka’s record-breaking unbeaten 121 off 39 balls, the fastest century in CPL history. Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Tridents round out the table on 4 points each.
