Cricket commentary | Barbados Tridents vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, 32nd Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026

Barbados Tridents have won the toss and have opted to field

Chris Green | Tridents captain We're gonna have a bowl. Well, if you said it's a good wicket, then it's a good wicket. You know, Barbados, you bowl first typically in T20 cricket here, so it's certainly no stranger to that, bowl first, and hopefully we can make use of these conditions. [chat after the last game?] Yeah, I was very happy

Mujeeb, unfortunately, is called for international duties, and fantastic for us, but we've got a really nice replacement in Ghazanfar coming in tonight. So excited to see him on my team and not trying to figure out which way the ball's spinning. So, yeah, excited for him.

Jason Holder | SKNP captain: Yeah, simple as. I just want us to go out and execute a perfect game of cricket. We answer that, we can find some good batting, or mix some good bowling. We are not quite put it together consistently. So here's the perfect opportunity to do it. [familiar venue?] Yeah, it's good to be here. Obviously we love playing cricket here. You know, me personally, I play cricket here, played a lot for years. So looking forward to tonight's and hopefully focus on the sports.

[changes] We've got one change. Waqar Salamkheil is in for Ashmead Nedd.

0.2

Chris Green to Johnson Charles, out Bowled!! Chris Green strikes 2nd ball. It's the one-finger seam-up delivery again, flat and quick, Johnson Charles backs away and shows all three stumps to cut, misses and the leg-stump is found. Green is leaping around in joy. An early blow for the Patriots.

1.2

Daniel Sams to Kyle Mayers, out Caught by Quinton de Kock!! Daniel Sams was so confident and Quinton de Kock not so sure. The review is taken and Mayers was already walking off before the big screen showed the UltraEdge. A thin spike as the ball brushes the bottom-hand glove on the way to the keeper. It's a rising short of length delivery and Mayers couldn't keep his hands down. Dream start for the Tridents.

Chris Green to Andre Fletcher, FOUR, Chris Green to Andre Fletcher, FOUR, that's a good hit. Andre Fletcher breaks the shackles. He comes down the track and takes it on the half-volley, smashes the loft and it's into the gap well wide of extra-cover
