JKM vs GAW 6 Match Highlight & Report CPL 2026 : Guyana Amazon Warriors produced a dominant bowling and chasing performance to defeat Jamaica Kingsmen by 6 wickets in the sixth match of the Caribbean Premier League 2026. After winning the toss and choosing to bowl first, Guyana restricted Jamaica to just 117 runs in 19.4 overs.
The target never looked particularly challenging for the Amazon Warriors, and they completed the chase in just 14.1 overs, reaching 118/4. The result was built around an outstanding bowling effort, followed by a controlled batting display led by wicketkeeper-batter Shai Hope.
Jamaica Kingsmen Struggle to Build Momentum
Jamaica Kingsmen found it difficult to score freely after being asked to bat first. Reeza Hendricks provided the main resistance with a well-made 40 from 32 balls, including two fours and two sixes.
However, wickets continued to fall around him. Shayan Jahangir managed only one run before being dismissed by Khary Pierre, while Keacy Carty scored just five. Captain Rovman Powell briefly gave Jamaica hope with an aggressive 24 from 17 balls, hitting two sixes.
Kirk McKenzie added 16 from 14 deliveries, but Jamaica could never establish a substantial partnership. Andre Russell, who is normally capable of changing a game with the bat, was dismissed for just one run.
The lower order also struggled against Guyana’s varied bowling attack. Vitel Lawes scored 14 from 11 balls, but Jamaica eventually lost their final wicket at 117 after 19.4 overs.
The Guyana bowlers shared the workload effectively, with Mohammad Nabi producing the standout figures of 4/22 from four overs. He consistently troubled the Jamaica batters and picked up four important wickets.
Shamar Joseph also made a strong contribution with 2/22, while Imran Tahir claimed 2/26. Khary Pierre and Glenn Phillips took one wicket each.
Shai Hope Leads Comfortable Chase
Guyana Amazon Warriors began their chase positively but did lose wickets during the innings. Glenn Phillips provided an explosive start, scoring 28 from 17 balls with four fours and a six.
Mavendra Dindyal was dismissed for a golden duck, but Shai Hope remained at the crease and took control of the chase. The Guyana wicketkeeper played a composed yet attacking innings, finishing unbeaten on 56 from 41 balls.
Hope struck two fours and four sixes and ensured that the required run rate never became a serious concern for his team.
Mohammad Nabi also made a valuable contribution with the bat. After his excellent bowling performance, Nabi scored 19 from 15 balls, hitting two fours.
Nabi was eventually dismissed by Vitel Lawes, but by that stage Guyana were already comfortably ahead of the required rate. Quentin Sampson then joined Hope and finished unbeaten on 13 from nine balls, including a four and a six.
Guyana eventually reached 118/4 in 14.1 overs, winning the match with plenty of deliveries remaining.
Mohammad Nabi Named Player of the Match
The Player of the Match award went to Mohammad Nabi for his all-round contribution. His four wickets for 22 runs played a major role in restricting Jamaica to a low total, while his 19 runs from 15 balls helped Guyana move closer to victory during the chase.
Nabi’s performance was particularly important because Jamaica’s batting lineup contained several experienced T20 players. By removing key batters and preventing Jamaica from building partnerships, he helped Guyana take control of the match early.
For Jamaica Kingsmen, the defeat will raise concerns about their batting performance. A total of 117 was never likely to be enough on a surface where Guyana’s batters were able to score at more than eight runs per over during the chase.
Guyana’s bowling unit deserves significant credit for maintaining pressure throughout the innings. Their spinners and seamers complemented each other well, while the fielding side also made sure Jamaica could not recover after losing regular wickets.
The Amazon Warriors’ successful chase also highlighted the importance of having a batter like Shai Hope in the middle order. Rather than taking unnecessary risks, Hope picked his scoring opportunities and remained unbeaten until the winning runs were scored.
With this six-wicket victory, Guyana Amazon Warriors will take plenty of confidence from their performance. Jamaica Kingsmen, meanwhile, will need to improve their batting considerably in their upcoming matches, particularly their ability to build partnerships and finish an innings strongly.
Overall, it was a convincing performance from Guyana, with Mohammad Nabi’s four-wicket haul and Shai Hope’s unbeaten half-century proving to be the decisive contributions in a comfortable CPL 2026 victory.
