Jamaica Kingsmen vs Antigua & Barbuda Falcons prediction
Jamaica Kingsmen officially join Hyderabad Kingsmen (Pakistan Super League) and Minor League Cricket side Chicago Kingsmen in the Kingsmen Sports Enterprise stable as they take their franchise cricket bow here in Kingstown, representing Jamaica in the Caribbean Premier League. They face an already long-established CPL franchise in Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, who failed to reach the playoffs last season and need to bounce back strongly this year.
A number of players from Pakistan represent the Kingsman and while there are some impressive names like Saim Ayub, it may take them time to adapt to the surfaces and conditions in the West Indies. However, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons boast their own Pakistan player and it’s a notable one in Sufyam Moqim, whose left-arm wrist spin lit up this year’s PSL, earning him the Player of the Tournament award.
Rovman Powell captains the Jamaica, whilst the Falcons are led by veteran all-rounder Moeen Ali. It’s usually difficult for new franchises to make an immediate impact in a long-standing franchise tournament and we saw this with Hyderabad Kingsmen in the PSL, who lost their first four before finally hitting their straps. This could prove a similar story and backing the more established Falcons is worthwhile.
