Trinbago Knight Riders will take on Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in Match 24 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 on Thursday, September 3, at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad.
The Knight Riders have had a tumultuous season as defending champions, where they have managed just two wins in six matches, losing five. They were beaten by nine runs in their contest against Guyana Amazon Warriors in a repeat of last season’s final, falling short of a 182-run target in a rain-shortened match.
The Falcons sit at the top of the table, having picked up four wins and three losses from eight matches. Their last match, against the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, was abandoned due to rain. They met the Knight Riders earlier in the season, where they emerged victorious by five wickets.

Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain: Pitch Report
The surface at the Queen’s Park Oval is, in the initial part of the game, a surface which favours batters, but tends to slow down as the game progresses. The bounce can be sluggish at times, with spinners able to get grip and turn off the wickets. Variable bounce can help seamers in the middle and death overs. With this set to be an evening game, the effect of dew is also expected to be prominent.

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been the attack leader for the Falcons and is their current leading wicket-taker with ten scalps in seven innings. Despite bowling at an economy rate of 9.04, he has been a regular strike bowler with wickets in all matches. He will be looking to add to his tally for the season.
