CPL 2026 Standings Tight as St Lucia Kings and Antigua Falcons Lead

CPL 2026 Standings Tight as St Lucia Kings and Antigua Falcons Lead

The CPL 2026 standings are beginning to separate the contenders from the teams under pressure, with St Lucia Kings sitting at the top after seven matches. They have four wins and three defeats, giving them eight points and a narrow advantage over Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, who also have eight points from seven games.

The St Lucia Kings have the edge because of their net run rate of +0.081, while the Falcons are on -0.371. That small difference could become important as the competition moves deeper into the season.

St Lucia Kings Set the Pace

St Lucia Kings sit at the top after four wins from seven matches, with two victories in their last three games.

Kamil Pooran has been their standout batter, scoring 193 runs at an average of 48.25, including two fifties. He also leads the tournament for fours with 22 and has hit 10 sixes.

Tim Seifert has made an immediate impact, scoring 117 runs in just two matches. His unbeaten 105 is the highest individual score in the tournament, while his strike rate of 172.13 shows how quickly he has scored.

With the ball, Matthew Forde has been the key figure. He leads the wicket charts with 13 dismissals and has the best bowling figures of 5/23. Roston Chase has added 10 wickets at an economy rate of 5.93.

Falcons Keep the Pressure On

Antigua & Barbuda Falcons are level on points with St Lucia Kings after four wins and three defeats. Their lower net run rate puts them second in the CPL points table, but they remain firmly in the title race.

Alzarri Joseph has taken 10 wickets, while Joshua James has seven at an impressive average of 9.29. Shadab Khan has also been difficult to score against, with an economy rate of just 4.42.

Evin Lewis has provided the power at the top of the order, hitting 12 sixes. Shadab Khan and Moeen Ali have also chipped in with valuable middle-order runs.

Amazon Warriors Make Every Game Count

Guyana Amazon Warriors are third with six points from only three matches. Their perfect 3-0 record is the strongest winning run in the competition, while their +2.991 net run rate is comfortably the best.

Shai Hope has scored 120 runs in three matches, averaging 120.00. Mohammad Nabi has also impressed with four wickets at an economy rate of 5.50.

The Warriors have played fewer matches than the teams above them, giving them plenty of opportunity to climb the standings. Their unbeaten start makes them one of the teams to watch as the race develops.

Jamaica Kingsmen Rely on Powell and Russell

Jamaica Kingsmen are fourth with six points from seven matches. Their results have been mixed, but several players have produced strong individual numbers.

Rovman Powell leads the tournament with 208 runs at an average of 34.67 and has hit 14 sixes. Andre Russell has 16 sixes from six matches and has added 143 runs and nine wickets.

Hunain Shah has also taken nine wickets, giving the Kingsmen another reliable option with the ball.

Pressure Builds at the Bottom

Barbados Tridents have four points from three matches, with Sherfane Rutherford and Brandon King scoring 111 and 112 runs respectively.

Trinbago Knight Riders and SKN Patriots have two points each. Sunil Narine has taken four wickets for the Knight Riders, while Andre Fletcher leads the Patriots with 136 runs.

CPL 2026 Stats Show a Tight Race

Powell leads the run charts, while Forde tops the wicket standings with the tournament’s only five-wicket haul so far. Seifert and Saim Ayub have also scored centuries.

With several teams having games in hand, the standings can change quickly. St Lucia Kings, Falcons and Amazon Warriors remain firmly in the race for the top spot.
