Antigua & Barbuda Falcons vs Jamaica Kingsmen Highlights | CPL 2026

Jamaica Kingsmen batted first in the CPL 2026 final and finished on 170 for 9 from their twenty overs. It was a competitive total for a final, but not one that left much room for error against a batting side in form.

The chase was shaped by Maaz Sadaqat, who made 114 from 58 balls — the first century in a CPL final. His innings gave the Falcons a platform that kept the required rate under control from the early overs, and Jamaica never managed to build the pressure that a final usually demands.

Sufyan Moqim had earlier taken 4 for 14, a spell that kept Jamaica to 170 instead of a larger total. In a final, that difference matters: the Falcons were chasing a target they could attack, rather than one they had to survive.

The Falcons finished on 173 for 2 in 16.4 overs, winning by eight wickets with twenty balls remaining. Hasan Nawaz finished unbeaten on 47 from 35 balls as part of an unbroken closing partnership worth 89 runs, so the end of the chase was calm rather than a scramble. It was a final decided by one outstanding innings, one outstanding spell, and a chase that never drifted.
