Jamaica Kingsmen have won the toss and have opted to field
Chris Green: [On losing the toss after five consecutive toss wins and batting first] Yeah, I actually don't mind it. This wicket's been used a lot here in our home leg. We obviously know how it's going to play likely, but there's a good chance it could deteriorate in that second innings, and particularly if we get runs on the board, I feel like we've got a good blueprint to try and score that 150-155 is probably around par. So if we can get up to 160 plus, then we can put pressure on them in a final
Powell: We’re going to bowl first. It looks a better surface to bat on second, so there’s a little bit of inclement weather overhead. [On sneaking into the playoffs in fourth place] I think every time we as a Jamaican team win CPL, we barely sneak into the playoffs. We take strength and we take courage from that. But tonight provides an opportunity for one of our big players to stand up and be counted
Barbados, meanwhile, recovered brilliantly after four straight defeats, winning their final four league games to seal their playoff spot. Quinton de Kock has been their standout with the bat, while Daniel Sams and Gudakesh Motie have led a strong collective bowling attack. Chris Green has also made key contributions throughout the campaign.
Jamaica will be boosted by Saim Ayub's return and Andre Russell being back in the side after missing three games, adding firepower and experience at a crucial stage
KIngsmen: Muscle head Odean Smith has been dropped.
Saim Ayub returns and Romaine Morris(w) debuts.
Tridents : Sams and (Jakeem) Pollard are back in.
Brandon King and Zachary Carter are at the crease.
Brandon King is on strike.

Brandon King is a failed cricketer with so much potential. Man makes same mistakes every single time.
...........
With the ball turning, Lawes should be used early.
Later will hinder him...

Andre Russell to Kevlon Anderson, out Caught by Romaine Morris!! Taken on the second attempt. King gone for a 5-ball duck, and now Anderson goes for a 4-ball duck. Tridents in early trouble. Romaine Morris and the rest of the Kingsmen are delighted. This is a back of a length delivery, right on off-stump and Anderson has to play, the ball shapes away and squares up the batter
, Kevlon Anderson c Romaine Morris b Andre Russell 0(4)
So Rovman is indeed a smarter captain than most of us thought.
He gave that last game to the Bajan franchise just to get the loss out of the way.
Today's game is all his.
