Talking about the two teams, they have met once in this edition where the Barbados side handed Kingsmen a 2 wicket defeat. The final will be the 2nd time they meet in CPL 2026. Ahead of the much-anticipated final, this article will shed light on the pitch report and weather update at Kensington Oval for the CPL 2026 final.

Talking about CPL 2026, the case has been totally opposite. In the five matches played here, four matches have been won by the chasing side. Therefore, Antigua and Barbados Falcons and Jamaica Kingsmen will look to field first.
