Jamaica Kingsmen have one win from four matches, but the manner of it changes the picture. They lost their first three, by one run to Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, by five runs to Barbados Tridents, and comprehensively to Guyana Amazon Warriors when bowled out for 117. Then came Saturday night. Trinbago Knight Riders, strengthened by the return of Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard from the Hundred, posted 182/6 with both making 44. Jamaica raced to 82 without loss inside the powerplay, McKenzie hitting six fours and six sixes in his 25 ball 69, and although Usman Tariq’s 3 for 21 pulled things back, Andre Russell and Rovman Powell counterattacked with 45 runs in two overs to get home with eight balls to spare.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have played twice. They lost their opener to Trinbago Knight Riders by 19 runs on DLS in a rain hit match, then beat St Lucia Kings by five wickets, with Saurabh Netravalkar taking 3 for 32 and Jason Holder 3 for 20 to restrict the Kings to 155/8. Andre Fletcher then led the chase with an unbeaten 48 off 41 balls.
Points Table
Both sides sit on two points. Jamaica Kingsmen have one win from four matches, while St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have one win from two, meaning the Patriots have games in hand and a better position on net run rate. For Jamaica, this is a chance to build on their breakthrough and start climbing.
JKM vs SKNP Head to Head Record
Jamaica Kingsmen are a brand new franchise for 2026, so these two sides have never met before. This is the first meeting in the fixture’s history, and both teams arrive having just recorded their first win of the season.
JKM vs SKNP Squads
Jamaica Kingsmen: Rovman Powell captains the side. Kirk McKenzie is the man in form after that 69 off 25 balls, and the batting also features Andre Russell, South Africa’s Reeza Hendricks, and Pakistan’s Saim Ayub and Usman Khan. Keemo Paul and Odean Smith lead the seam options. Full squad: Rovman Powell (c), Usman Khan (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Shayan Jahangir, Keacy Carty, Shaqkere Parris, Mohammad Tayyab Arif, Kirk McKenzie, Saim Ayub, Andre Russell, Hassan Khan, Keemo Paul, Odean Smith, Maaz Sadaqat, Romaine Morris, Vitel Lawes, Jeavor Royal, Hunain Shah, Jediah Blades, Kelvin Pitman.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots: Jason Holder captains the side and has been among the wickets already, taking 3 for 20 against St Lucia Kings. Johnson Charles, the leading run scorer in CPL history, opens the batting, and Andre Fletcher has already produced a match winning innings. The bowling is deep, with Wanindu Hasaranga’s leg spin, Naseem Shah’s pace, Waqar Salamkheil’s left arm wrist spin and Saurabh Netravalkar’s left arm seam. Full squad: Jason Holder (c), Johnson Charles (wk), Andre Fletcher, Kyle Mayers, Kevin Wickham, Alick Athanaze, Micah McKenzie, Navin Bidaisee, Mikyle Louis, Obed McCoy, Jeremiah Louis, Ashmead Nedd, Saurabh Netravalkar, Naseem Shah, Dasun Shanaka, Waqar Salamkheil, Wanindu Hasaranga, Nikhil Chaudhary.
Pitch Report
Sabina Park has slightly favoured the team batting first across its CPL history, with the side setting a total winning 54 percent of matches. The average first innings score is 161, dropping to 140 in the second innings, and pace bowlers have taken 60 percent of the wickets over the last 10 matches.
This season has told a different story though. The ground has produced a 407 run aggregate between Jamaica Kingsmen and Barbados Tridents with 21 sixes, and then the record chase of 183 by the Kingsmen against Trinbago. It has also seen the Kingsmen dismissed for 117 by Guyana Amazon Warriors. Batting conditions have generally been good, but collapses have happened when the ball has done something.
Weather Report
Rain is a real consideration. Tuesday in Kingston carries around a 55 percent chance of rain, with hot conditions near 91°F (33°C) during the day. This part of the Caribbean season has already produced two DLS results in this tournament, so a shortened game is possible. Check the toss before locking your fantasy team.

These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.
Key Player Battles
Kirk McKenzie vs Naseem Shah: McKenzie tore apart a Trinbago attack in the powerplay last time out, and Naseem Shah bowling at pace with the new ball is the sternest examination he will face. If the Patriots can remove him early, Jamaica lose their fastest starter.
Andre Russell vs Wanindu Hasaranga: Russell has been Jamaica’s most consistent threat all tournament, and Hasaranga’s leg spin through the middle overs is exactly the type of bowling designed to stop a big hitter before he settles.
Johnson Charles vs Hunain Shah: The leading run scorer in CPL history against a young quick who took 2 for 31 against Trinbago. Getting Charles early would take real momentum out of the Patriots’ innings.
JKM vs SKNP Fantasy Team
Wicket Keeper: Andre Fletcher,
Batter: Rovman Powell, Reeza Hendricks, Kirk McKenzie (C),
All-Rounder: Jason Holder, Andre Russell (Vc), Kyle Mayers, Wanindu Hasaranga,
Bowler: Hassan Khan, Waqar Salamkheil, Hunain Shah,
Russell gets the captaincy at his home ground, where he has produced repeatedly this season including that nine six innings against Barbados and the finishing burst against Trinbago. Holder is vice captain as the Patriots’ captain and a strong all round contributor who already has a three wicket haul this tournament. McKenzie is a must after his 69 off 25, and the bowling picks lean on the Patriots’ depth in Hasaranga, Naseem and Netravalkar.
Match Prediction
Jamaica Kingsmen have momentum for the first time this season, and it came in the most emphatic way possible, chasing a record total at Sabina Park against the defending champions. The home crowd will be behind them again, Russell is in form, and McKenzie has announced himself.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have a more balanced attack, with Holder, Netravalkar, Naseem Shah and Hasaranga giving Jason Holder options in every phase. They showed against St Lucia Kings that they can defend a modest total by bowling well as a unit.
Jamaica Kingsmen get a slight edge on home advantage and the confidence of that win, but the Patriots’ bowling depth makes this closer than the recent headlines suggest. Rain could also have a say.
