Antigua & Barbuda Falcons face Trinbago Knight Riders at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium (10,000 capacity) in North Sound, Antigua & Barbuda, on August 21, 2026, with first ball at 7:00 PM AST (UTC-4) in CPL 2026 Match 7. The Caribbean Premier League returns for its 12th season across six island venues, running from August 15 to September 22, 2026.

The Falcons host the Knight Riders at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the ground named after the greatest batsman the Caribbean has ever produced. The match is an away test for the four-time CPL champions, and the Antiguan crowd will be squarely behind their home side.

The Falcons are a relatively recent addition to the CPL, having replaced Jamaica Tallawahs in 2024. Brandon King anchors the batting with elegant stroke play, while Hayden Walsh Jr. provides a potent leg-spin option in the middle overs. Chris Green’s miserly off-spin has been a feature of CPL cricket for years.

The Knight Riders are the CPL’s most successful franchise with four titles. Nicholas Pooran is one of the most devastating power hitters in world cricket, while Sunil Narine remains an enigma with both bat and ball after more than a decade at the top. The Knight Riders’ depth of experience in pressure moments is unmatched in the tournament.

A 7:00 PM AST first ball translates to 4:30 AM IST (next day) in India, midnight BST (next day) in London, 9:00 AM AEST (next day) in Sydney, and 7:00 PM EDT on the US East Coast. For the latest local time conversion, check Antigua time and Antigua and Barbuda time.

Named after the greatest batsman the Caribbean has ever produced, Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound carries an aura few cricket grounds can match. The 10,000-capacity venue hosted matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup. The stands fill with colour and noise as local fans bring steel drums, horns, and an energy that makes visiting teams feel every run they concede.
