The WCPL 2026 season exploded into life as the Trinbago Knight Riders dismantled the Barbados Tridents. Pandey’s lethal bowling, including a massive early wicket of Hayley Matthews, crippled the Tridents’ momentum. Harris and Yastika executed a clinical chase, sealing victory in just 18.4 overs. It’s a bold statement of control from the Knight Riders—dominance has officially arrived in Guyana.
