Barbados Tridents vs Jamaica Kingsmen,

Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

Jamaica Kingsmen (Playing XI): Maaz Sadaqat, Kirk McKenzie, Keacy Carty, Usman Khan(w), Rovman Powell(c), Andre Russell, Hassan Khan, Keemo Paul, Odean Smith, Vitel Lawes, Hunain Shah

Barbados Tridents (Playing XI): Brandon King, Zachary Carter, Rivaldo Clarke, Quinton de Kock(w), Sadrack Descarte, Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Green(c), Daniel Sams, Gudakesh Motie, AM Ghazanfar, Jakeem Pollard

Barbados Tridents have won the toss and have opted to field

Rovman Powell - It was all about rest and recovery. We have one change: Andre Russell is back, and Blades misses out. It's always good to have one of our dangerous batters back.

Chris Green - We are going to bowl. With the exception of the last game, the outfield has been wet. Dew will be a factor and hopefully it'll not rain. We'll have to execute under pressure, they've got some dangerous players. We have an unchanged side today.

We've had two women's matches already today. The breeze is mellow. The pitch tends to be spongy and two-paced; it won't come up nicely for a batter. It's a bit slow, has some live grass and as such cutters will be vital for a bowler. It's not a bad pitch, but you need to get in here and the bowlers must be smart, reckons Danny Morrison, in his pitch report

Only two games remain in the 2026 CPL edition, and both matches feature the Barbados Tridents at home. Their path is quite simple: win one of those games and they advance to the Eliminator

Jamaica Kingsmen, their opponents tonight, also have a simple task. Win, or ensure that a loss isn't large enough for their net run-rate to slip below the Kings

Expect a big one from King...

Maaz Sadaqat and Kirk McKenzie are at the crease.

Maaz Sadaqat is on strike.

Chris Green will open the attack

0.1

Chris Green to Maaz Sadaqat, 5 runs, tossed up and drifting back into the left-hander, clipped away behind square on the on-side and there's a bad overthrow. Two men were backing up Rutherford's throw and both were clumsy, allowing four overthrows

AM Ghazanfar to Kirk McKenzie, out Bowled!! Ghazanfar strikes with his first ball of #CPL2026 - was the carrom-ball that skidded through after pitching, McKenzie was camping back on the flick and ended up playing all around the ball. The off-stump is down and the Kingsmen have lost their first wicket. A dream start for Ghazanfar in his Tridents shirt.

Kirk shot his load way back when. 😍

3.5

AM Ghazanfar to Maaz Sadaqat, 5 wides, Ghazanfar loses his line and spears one way down leg - saw Sadaqat shuffle across and darted it quicker down leg, Quinton de Kock has no chance and the ball runs away for wides, 5 of them

Jakeem Pollard gave the chase and fell awkwardly at the ropes, he looks to be in trouble - might've jarred his knee against the hard ground and the physio is having a look. This does look concerning as a stretcher is out. The good thing is he's on his feet and doesn't need the stretcher as he limps towards the dressing room
