The inaugural match of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League 2025 promises fireworks as Guyana Amazon Warriors Women clash with Trinbago Knight Riders Women at Providence Stadium in Guyana on Saturday. This encounter marks the beginning of the fourth edition of the WCPL, with both teams eager to make early statements in the short but intense tournament format.
Trinbago Knight Riders will rely heavily on captain Deandra Dottin, the explosive all-rounder who has established herself as one of the most destructive players in women’s T20 cricket. The 34-year-old Barbadian brings vast experience with over 3,000 T20I runs at a strike rate of 127.6 and 70 wickets from 134 matches. Her ability to turn matches with both bat and ball makes her the key player for the visitors. Supporting Dottin is Lizelle Lee, the experienced South African wicket-keeper batter, and Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen, who adds depth to their bowling attack.
For Guyana Amazon Warriors, captain Stafanie Taylor remains their cornerstone. The 34-year-old Jamaican legend brings remarkable credentials with 3,426 T20I runs and the distinction of being the first cricketer to be ranked number one in both ODI batting and bowling simultaneously.
