Guyana Amazon Warriors begin their CPL campaign fresh off winning the Global Super League title in Guyana, beating San Francisco Unicorns in a low scoring final. Jamaica Kingsmen are still looking for their first win as a franchise, and they’ve been agonisingly close twice already, losing their opener by a single run and then falling five short in a Sabina Park run fest. Rovman Powell captains the Kingsmen at home, and Imran Tahir leads a Warriors side that has reached three of the last four CPL finals, making this JKM vs GAW Fantasy Team contest an interesting one for fantasy cricket fans.

Recent Form
Jamaica Kingsmen have played two matches as a franchise and lost both by the narrowest of margins. They fell a single run short chasing 168 against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in the tournament opener, then lost by 5 runs to Barbados Tridents at Sabina Park in a game that produced 407 runs and 21 sixes. That second defeat stung, because Andre Russell nearly dragged them home on his own, striking 9 sixes after the Kingsmen had slumped to 60/5. Daniel Sams’ spell of 4 for 20 for the Tridents proved the difference.
Guyana Amazon Warriors are yet to play a CPL match this season but arrive in excellent touch, having just won the Global Super League on home soil. They won four of five matches in that tournament, including the final, where they defended 85 to bowl San Francisco Unicorns out for 79 in a remarkably low scoring decider.
Points Table
Jamaica Kingsmen sit on zero points after two narrow defeats. Guyana Amazon Warriors are also on zero, having not played a CPL match yet this season. Both sides will be keen to get their campaigns going, though the Kingsmen will feel they should already have points on the board.
The Guyana Connection
There’s an interesting thread running through this fixture. Keemo Paul, who spent years with Guyana Amazon Warriors, now plays for Jamaica Kingsmen after the new franchise picked him up. Gudakesh Motie, another long serving Warriors name, has moved to Barbados Tridents. Guyana replaced Motie with left arm spinner Khary Pierre, who was with Saint Lucia Kings last season.
JKM vs GAW Head to Head Record
Jamaica Kingsmen are a brand new franchise, so there’s no meaningful head to head record between these two sides. Guyana Amazon Warriors have a strong overall record though, winning seven of their last 10 matches across formats, and they’ve been one of the most consistent teams in CPL history, never having missed the playoffs.

Pace has dominated recently, taking 61 percent of the wickets over the last 10 matches. That said, the most recent game here produced 407 runs between Jamaica Kingsmen and Barbados Tridents, the second highest match aggregate in CPL history at this ground, with 21 sixes struck and only one four. The surface is playing well for batting right now.

Key Player Battles
Andre Russell vs Imran Tahir: Russell hits the ball as hard as anyone in franchise cricket, and Tahir’s leg spin in the middle overs is exactly the kind of bowling that can trouble a big hitter. A proper contest between two veterans.
Shai Hope vs Hassan Khan: Hope was the leading run scorer in CPL 2025, and Hassan Khan’s pace with the new ball is Jamaica’s best route to an early breakthrough.
Rovman Powell vs Shamar Joseph: Jamaica’s captain against Guyana’s breakthrough quick, a matchup that could decide how the home side’s innings builds.
JKM vs GAW Fantasy Team
Wicketkeepers: Shai Hope (Vc),
Batters: Rovman Powell, Keacy Carty, Reeza Hendricks, Shimron Hetmyer,
All-Rounders: Andre Russell (C), Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Mohammad Nabi,
Bowlers: Imran Tahir, Hassan Khan,
Russell gets the captaincy on the back of his 9 six innings at this exact ground last time out, where he nearly won a game from 60/5 on his own. Hope is vice captain as the competition’s leading run scorer last season. The rest of the team leans on Guyana’s proven CPL performers plus Jamaica’s overseas batting quality, with the pace options weighted given how much the quicks have done at Sabina Park.
Match Prediction
Guyana Amazon Warriors arrive with real momentum after winning the Global Super League and bring a squad with more CPL pedigree than any side in the competition, having reached three of the last four finals. Jamaica Kingsmen have the home crowd and the firepower of Russell and Powell, and they’ve shown in two narrow defeats that they can go toe to toe with anyone. Powell himself pointed to losing wickets in clusters as the problem, and fixing that is the difference between two near misses and a first win. Guyana get the nod given their form and depth, though a Jamaica side this close to a breakthrough at home is dangerous.
