Barbados Tridents finish third in 2026 CPL group stage with 1xBet backing

Barbados Tridents finished third in the group stage of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League on 2026-09-30, with sponsorship support from 1xBet. The placing secured their progression to the tournament play-offs.

Barbados Tridents opened the 2026 CPL with wins in their first two fixtures, then found form again late in the group phase by winning four consecutive matches, including a victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors, to climb to third in the standings and qualify for the play-offs. 1xBet sponsored the Tridents throughout the campaign. Founded in 2013 to compete in the CPL, the franchise has taken part in all fourteen editions of the competition and has won the title in 2014 and 2019 while finishing runners-up in 2015 and 2022. The team is part of Royals Sports Group, which also includes Rajasthan Royals and Paarl Royals among other sporting ventures.

In their opening play-off fixture the Tridents faced Jamaica Kingsmen; Jamaica Kingsmen went on to finish as runners-up. Quinton de Kock scored 71 in that match and passed the 13,000-run mark in T20 cricket. Despite the whole team’s efforts, including De Kock’s innings, the Tridents were ultimately defeated.

Quinton de Kock received the Highest Run Scorer Award, finishing as the outright leader with 392 runs. Daniel Sams finished the tournament with 15 wickets — one fewer than the tournament’s highest tally. Their strong league position was a significant achievement for the club and their supporters.

A 1xBet representative said: “Today, we are celebrating a strong season for Barbados Tridents. The players showed character and true team spirit, finishing the group stage on a high note. We are delighted to have been part of this campaign and to have supported them throughout the tournament. The club have a rich history in the CPL, and we wish them further success as they build on that legacy and move confidently towards their main goal.”

“The 2026 Caribbean Premier League season has been very exciting — we managed to play our best cricket, demonstrate our determination and reach the play-offs. Achieving this would have been impossible without the active support of our fans and our sponsor, 1xBet, so we would like to express our sincere gratitude to them!” said a Barbados Tridents representative.
