Caribbean Premier League 2026Saint Lucia KingsDaren Sammy National Cricket Stadium

Saint Lucia Kings face Jamaica Kingsmen at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in the thirteenth match of the Caribbean Premier League 2026.

The Kings are captained by Roston Chase and are expected to field Johann Jeremiah, Ackeem Auguste, Jewel Andrew and Charith Asalanka in their top order, with Matthew Forde and Amari Goodridge adding depth. Shadley van Schalkwyk, Khari Campbell, Joshua Bishop and Maheesh Theekshana form the attack.

Jamaica, led by Rovman Powell, have a strong batting group of Kirk McKenzie, Reeza Hendricks, Usman Khan, Keacy Carty and Andre Russell. Hassan Khan, Vitel Lawes, Odean Smith, Keemo Paul and Hunain Shah support in the bowling department.

The pitch is generally good for batting but can slow, so spinners and cutters may play a part. A powerplay of around 45–55 runs should be achievable, as should a similar tally in the death overs if wickets are in hand. Our preview expects 165–175 in the first innings and picks Jamaica Kingsmen.

It offers decent pace and bounce, so batters can play their shots once set, and seamers can find movement with the new ball. It can slow as the innings goes on, bringing spinners and cutters into play. A first-innings score of 160–175 is competitive, and 180+ would put strong pressure on the chasing team.

Weather
