Saint Lucia Kings beat Jamaica Kingsmen by 6 wickets (with 10 balls remaining) – Caribbean Premier League Match Report

Saint Lucia Kings won by 6 wickets (with 10 balls remaining) in the 13th match of 39 in the Caribbean Premier League 2026 at Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium. Matthew Forde delivered a devastating spell with the ball – 5/23 from 4 overs – to dismantle Jamaica Kingsmen‘s batting order and set up a comfortable chase. The Kings remain top of the table (3W 3L, 6pts) while the Kingsmen slip to fifth (2W 4L, 4pts).

Jamaica Kingsmen Collapse to 169

Saint Lucia Kings won the toss and elected to bowl, a decision that proved inspired. Kirk McKenzie fell for just 1 at 2/1 in the opening over, setting the tone for Jamaica’s struggles. Saim Ayub departed for 1 at 3/2, and Rovman Powell was out for a duck at 40/5 – the Kingsmen were in freefall.

Keacy Carty provided some resistance with 50 off 45 balls (3 fours, 1 six), but he was the only Jamaica batter to reach 30. Usman Khan struck 28 off 11 (3 fours, 2 sixes) at a strike rate of 255 in a brief cameo before falling at 40/4. Andre Russell added 25 off 15 (1 four, 3 sixes), and Odean Smith finished unbeaten on 27 off 17 (3 sixes) to push Jamaica to 169/9, but the damage was already done.

Matthew Forde was the architect of Jamaica’s collapse, claiming 5 wickets for just 23 runs – an economy rate of 5.75 that suffocated the middle order. Maheesh Theekshana took 1/31 from 4 overs, Joshua Bishop claimed 1/28, and Shadley van Schalkwyk picked up 1/49. Roston Chase bowled 4 overs without reward.

Kings Chase Down Target with Ease

Chasing 170, Saint Lucia Kings made light work of the task. Tim Seifert started brightly with 12 off 13 (3 fours) before falling at 25/1 in the 3rd over. John Campbell contributed 23 off 19 (2 fours, 1 six) in a 66-run stand with Kamil Pooran, but it was Pooran who took centre stage.

Kamil Pooran was the star of the chase, smashing 81 off 49 balls (6 fours, 5 sixes) at a strike rate of 165.31 to guide the Kings home. Johann Jeremiah fell for 1 at 93/3, and Roston Chase was bowled for 11 at 114/4, but the target was already within reach. Obus Pienaar finished the job with an unbeaten 34 off 14 (4 fours, 2 sixes) at a strike rate of 243, taking the Kings to 171/4 in just 18.2 overs.

Hunain Shah was Jamaica’s best bowler with 2/34 from 3.2 overs, while Vitel Lawes took 2/22 from 3. Andre Russell, Saim Ayub, Keemo Paul, and Odean Smith all went wicketless.

His 5/23 from 4 overs was the performance that won the match – a spell of precision and control that left Jamaica’s middle order in tatters. Forde’s economy rate of 5.75 was exceptional in a T20 context, and his five-wicket haul was the standout display of the evening. The official Man of the Match award also went to Forde.
