St Kitts and Nevis Patriots meet Jamaica Kingsmen in the 18th match of CPL 2026. The game begins at 7:00 pm local time on Thursday.
The Patriots’ probable XI is captained by Jason Holder and includes wicketkeeper Andre Fletcher, Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers, Mikyle Louis, Kevin Wickham and Nikhil Chaudhary. Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Waqar Salamkheil and Obed McCoy complete a line-up with plenty of all-round options.
Jamaica Kingsmen are captained by Rovman Powell, and their squad lists Usman Khan as wicketkeeper along with Kirk McKenzie, Reeza Hendricks, Keacy Carty, Keemo Paul, Andre Russell, Odean Smith and Hunain Shah. It is a strong group of power-hitters and pace bowlers.
The surface should reward batters who survive the early overs, and powerplay scoring and death-over hitting could shape the totals. If wickets are preserved, a big finish is likely. Dew may help the chasing team, so bowling first could be a good option. We expect a first-innings score of 165–180 and lean towards Jamaica.
