The Jamaica Kingsmen will host the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Match 6 of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday, August 13. The Kingsmen are the new franchise in the tournament and will be looking to make their mark from the get-go.
Their start to the season, however, has not gone according to plan, having seen losses in their opening two matches of the season. They were beaten by two wickets in their first game against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in their opening match, while seeing a five-run loss against the Barbados Tridents. With nervy losses, they will be looking to find that final push to seal their first win.
Top order: Shayan Jahangir (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Keacy Carty,
Opening batter Shayan Jahangir is a regular name across the T20 franchise circuits and will be partnered by another exceptional T20 circuit regular in South Africa’s Reeza Hendricks, who comes into the tournament in fine form. Highly-rated batter Keacy Carty takes up the number 3 slot and scored a well-made 27-ball 45 against the Tridents. He is the stable presence in the middle order and will be looking to pick up runs in the tournament.
Middle order: Kirk McKenzie, Rovman Powell (capt), Andre Russell, Hassan Khan,
Kirk McKenzie is a reliable batter and would add a stable presence in the middle order at number 4. Captain Rovman Powell brings the firepower in the middle order as a destructive six-hitter and will be primed for a big score. All-rounder Andre Russell scored a 38-ball 68 against the Tridents, a knock which included nine sixes. He is still one of the most destructive hitters in the game and will be looking to take his team over the line. All-rounder Hassan Khan offers a handy option with the bat in the lower order and is a key wicket-taker with his left-arm spin.
Lower order/bowlers: Keemo Paul, Hunain Shah, Vitel Lawes, Jediah Blades
Keemo Paul is a reliable all-phase pace bowler who offers a key hit-the-deck option for the sticky wickets in Kingston. Hunain Shah is an exciting pace-bowling talent and forms a key part of the Kingsmen’s seam-bowling battery. Left-arm wrist-spinner Vitel Lawes is an exciting prospect and could be a genuine threat with his variations. Left-arm fast bowler Jediah Blades offers a difference point with his angles and ability with the new ball.
