The 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) approaches its climax at the neutral Kensington Oval in Bridgetown as Jamaica Kingsmen collide with regular-season table-toppers Guyana Amazon Warriors in Qualifier 2!

Winner-Takes-All Showdown at Kensington Oval
Qualifier 2 presents a high-octane do-or-die clash in Bridgetown, where the winner locks in a ticket to Sunday's grand final, while the loser is eliminated.
For Jamaica Kingsmen, captained by West Indies power-hitter Rovman Powell, carrying explosive momentum into the powerplay is top priority. Following their clinical 14.1-over chase against Barbados, Jamaica look to leverage their red-hot top order. Powered by key match-winners-including Pakistani opener Maaz Sadaqat, Keacy Carty, Hassan Khan, Usman Khan, Keemo Paul, Odean Smith, and Jediah Blades-the Kingsmen look to avenge two group-stage defeats against Guyana.
For Guyana Amazon Warriors, skippered by veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir, bouncing back from a shock defeat against Antigua in Qualifier 1 is essential. Despite being bowled out cheaply in their last outing, the 2026 table-toppers bring immense international pedigree. Driven by elite performers-including [[/fighter/shai-hope/40417/:Shai Hope]], Shimron Hetmyer, [[/fighter/glenn-phillips/40388/:Glenn Phillips]], [[/fighter/rahmanullah-gurbaz/40392/:Rahmanullah Gurbaz]], [[/fighter/romario-shepherd/40416/:Romario Shepherd]], Dwaine Pretorius, Khary Pierre, and Shamar Joseph-Guyana look to assert control with their deep bowling unit.
