Jamaica Kingsmen Form

After starting their first season in the Caribbean Premier League with two last-ball defeats the Kingsmen collapsed to a big loss to a powerful Guyana Amazon Warriors wide, losing by six wickets with 35 balls remaining.

Reeza Hendricks (40 off 32) got the side off to a good start despite wickets tumbling around him. Skipper Rovman Powell added 24 off 17 balls but with none of their team-mates reaching 20 they were rolled for 117 with two balls to spare.

Jediah Blades (1/20) and Andre Russell (2/12) pulled the Warriors back to 45/3 after six overs, but it was not enough to deny the Warriors a comfortable win.

Trinbago Knight Riders Form

The Knight Riders kicked off the defence of their title with a storming eight-wicket win over the Patriots.

Sunil Narine starred with the ball, returning figures of 3/7 as the Knight Riders put the squeeze on the Patriots, restricting them to 109/9 off their 20 overs. Dominic Drakes (2/20) and Terrance Hinds (3/33) were also superb with the ball.

The Knight Riders slipped to 34/2 as rain interrupted their innings, but Matthew Breetzke scored an undefeated 35 off 35 balls to lift his side to 94/2 before rain ended the match with the Knight Riders well ahead of the DLS curve.
