Ultimately, the Caribbean Premier League is about more than just sixes and wickets. It’s about stepping up in crucial moments. The playoffs cement your legend status within CPL, and some teams appear to be playoff regulars. If you’ve ever wondered which CPL franchises have made it to the playoffs the most, let’s break it down. Let’s explore the numbers, the narratives, and the tactics of those teams that have been under the most pressure in a playoff game within CPL.
Guyana Amazon Warriors

First up are the Guyana Amazon Warriors, a squad seasoned in the pressures of postseason cricket. The team has played a total of 21 matches from 2013 to 2024; 7 wins and 14 losses. In terms of statistics, they have a W/LS ratio of 0.500, not a great record, but stats are some good data, but not everything. The truth of the matter is, the Warriors can step up in pressured situations, and their playoff matches have always been nail-biters. The Warriors have had players rise to the occasion in those moments, like the player with the most runs and the highest total of 189. It is those players (and the fans craving more) that we log on to see; they are one of the most-viewed teams in the postseason.
Trinbago Knight Riders

Next up, the Trinbago Knight Riders. These teams have played 18 matches from 2013-2024 and are just ahead of the other teams in W/L ratio at 1.250. They have managed to win 10 games and have succeeded with a solid balance between batting firepower and bowling discipline to find success and advance to the playoffs. They have proven they are balanced enough to chase or set big targets, with a run rate of 7.74 RPO, with a high score of 184. TKR has become one of the most unpredictable yet reliable teams to make the playoffs. Once TKR hits the playoffs, you don’t know whether the batters will explode or if their bowlers will steal the victory.
Jamaica Tallawahs

Finally, the Jamaica Tallawahs may have the record for playoff escapades. They are the only franchise between 2013 to 2023 that played 15 games and had a W/L ratio of 1.500 with 9 wins. Unlike others, the Tallawahs can deliver explosive scores in one innings when the stakes are high. Their highest score of 226 and a decent 24.96 batting average show this is a team that can individually affect games. The Tallawahs are normally producers of exciting playoffs, combining brute hitting strength with shrewd, deliberate play.
So, who has the most playoff games in the CPL? It’s close, but because of the sheer volume of games the Guyana Amazon Warriors have played, they have an advantage over the others in terms of having more experience in pressure situations. But you can see from the Knight Riders and the Tallawahs that quality can outshine quantity stats, with win ratios being better and memorable performances.
