Match Highlights
Jamaica Kingsmen won the toss and opted to field first at Kensington Oval, a decision that proved astute as the pitch offered early assistance for their seam attack and would only get harder to bowl on as the evening dew settled in. Rovman Powell’s thinking was clear: restrict Barbados Tridents to a manageable total, then unleash his batting line-up in favourable conditions.
The powerplay was a disaster for Barbados Tridents. Brandon King departed without scoring in the very first over, caught off Hassan Khan for a duck. By the end of over one, the template was already set. Andre Russell then struck twice in quick succession, removing Zachary Carter for 3 and Kevlon Anderson for a second-ball duck. Three wickets were down for just 10 runs inside 4 overs, and the Tridents were reeling.
Shadrack Descarte walked in under enormous pressure and was dismissed lbw off Hunain Shah for zero in over five, making it 22 for 4. Sherfane Rutherford added a brief burst of six before being bowled by Saim Ayub in over seven, and suddenly Barbados Tridents found themselves 30 for 5, an innings in freefall with only 13 overs remaining.
From that wreckage, Quinton de Kock and Chris Green mounted a recovery that at least gave their team something to defend. De Kock, batting at number four, anchored the innings with controlled aggression, scoring 71 off 49 balls including five fours and two sixes. Green, coming in at number seven, played an equally vital knock of 57 not out off 44 deliveries. Their 114-run sixth-wicket stand off the final 80 balls was the only reason Tridents reached 144/6, a score that flattered an innings that had been comprehensively broken open early.
De Kock was eventually run out off the final delivery of the innings, dismissed by a McKenzie-Morris combination, ending what had been a composed and resilient effort. Green remained unbeaten, having almost single-handedly restored respectability. For Jamaica’s bowlers, Hassan Khan was the pick, four overs for just 16 runs while Russell’s two wickets cost more but came at the decisive moment in the powerplay.
The 145-run target always looked light on a true Kensington Oval surface under lights, and Jamaica Kingsmen made it look even lighter. Maaz Sadaqat came out with complete intent from ball one. He brought up his half-century off just 22 balls with five fours and four sixes, a strike rate of 228 that made it clear the chase was a formality, not a contest.
Kirk McKenzie provided steady support from the other end, never needing to take risks as Sadaqat dismantled the Tridents attack from every angle. Chris Green’s four overs went for 32 without reward, and AM Ghazanfar conceded 40 off just three overs, a stark contrast to the disciplined Kingsmen bowling effort in the first innings. Only Daniel Sams offered any resistance, picking up Sadaqat’s wicket with the target just seven runs away.
Sadaqat fell for 112 off 49 balls, nine fours, eight sixes, at 138 for 1 in the 13th over. It was a century of supreme timing and power, one of the most dominant Eliminator knocks in recent CPL history. McKenzie finished unbeaten on 22, and Saim Ayub hit the winning runs two balls later. Jamaica reached 145/1 with 35 balls to spare — a comprehensive, clinical destruction.
For Barbados Tridents, the Eliminator exit is a sobering end to their CPL 2026 campaign. Despite finishing third on the points table, they were unable to produce the collective batting performance needed when it mattered most. The top-order collapse, five wickets for 30 runs, was simply too much ground to recover from, even with de Kock and Green’s heroics later. Jamaica Kingsmen, by contrast, were ruthlessly efficient in every department and now advance to the semi-finals as deserving contenders.
