St Lucia Kings clinched their first Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title by defeating defending champions Guyana Amazon Warriors in a thrilling final held at Providence Stadium, Guyana. After being 51-4 at 9.5 overs, Aaron Jones and Roston Chase orchestrated a remarkable turnaround. They accelerated the scoring in the late overs, including a pivotal 27 runs in the 16th over off Moeen Ali, followed by 20 runs in the 17th over off Dwaine Pretorius, and 18 runs in the 18th over off Romario Shepherd. This explosive batting led the Kings to a successful chase, securing their maiden CPL trophy. Earlier in the tournament, the Kings had defeated the Warriors in Qualifier 1 by 15 runs (DLS method) after rain intervened. The victory marks the first major trophy for co-owners Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia.
