Cricket commentary | Saint Lucia Kings vs Jamaica Kingsmen, 13th Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026

Saint Lucia Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

Rovman Powell: [Any changes to your team?] Yeah, we have one change, Reeza Hendricks is home, Saim Ayub comes in.

Roston Chase:. [Any team changes?] Yeah, we have three changes. One is unfortunate, Auguste fell sick last night, so he's unavailable to play. Nedd is also out, and Gous left. So Tim Seifert comes in, Pienaar comes in, and John Campbell comes in.

Gwan Yard😀

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Kirk McKenzie, out Caught by Johann Jeremiah!! Schalkwyk strikes in his first over. That's a very soft dismissal. On a length around off, McKenzie plays a checked drive, and chips it straight to the fielder at cover. The conditions here are different to Jamaica, and McKenzie has failed to adapt today. A safe catch taken by Jeremiah and the Kingsmen have lost an early wicket. Looks like a two-paced wicket.

So McKenzie really shot his load 2 matches ago. 😎

gawn again

1.2

Matthew Forde to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Obus Pienaar!! Another one bites the dust. This time it's Ayub. Two wickets in two overs for the Kings. They are up and running against their home crowd. Short and wide outside off, Ayub advances down the wicket and slashes away from his body. And the thick outside edge flies straight into the mitts of Pienaar at third man. He makes no mistake, and Forde has struck early once again. Jamaica Kingsmen in a spot of bother.

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Usman Khan, no ball, SIX, that's a high full toss by the bowler. Usman Khan makes sure to dispatch it. Was above his waist and he pulled it over deep mid-wicket for half-a-dozen. Free-hit coming up!

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Usman Khan, SIX, free-hit goes the distance! Pitched up by the bowler around off, Usman Khan picks the length early and thumps it over deep extra cover this time around. Another fantastic shot

Matthew Forde to Usman Khan, FOUR, runs coming thick and fast! He puts on his dancing shoes and slaps it past mid-off, despite the ball being slightly widish. Had to reach out for it, which he did

gawn
