Krishmar Santokie emerged as the highest wicket-taker of the season.{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/caribbean-premier-league-2013/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=8012;type=tournament |title= Caribbean Premier League, 2013 / Records / Most wickets |access-date=14 August 2013 |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo }}
