In July 2018, two changes to the playing conditions were announced for the tournament.[3] The first was a penalty to a team's net run rate for failing to bowl their overs in the given time.[3] The second change was the introduction of a coin toss, to determine who will bat first if a Super Over is needed to decide the result of the match.[3] The Decision Review System (DRS) was used in the last two matches of the tournament.[4]
Trinbago Knight Riders beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by eight wickets in the final to win their third CPL title.[5]
