Caribbean Premier League Playoff: 21‑Year‑Old Sadakat’s Hundred Powers Jamaica Past Barbados

Kensington Oval was packed for the CPL 2026 playoff when 21‑year‑old Mazz Sadakat walked in to open the innings for Jamaica Kingsmen. He responded with an aggressive 112 from 49 balls, a performance that set a new benchmark for youth in the league.

Barbados Tridents, after choosing to bowl first, posted 144 runs for the loss of six wickets. Their highest scores came from Quinnon Dicock’s 71 and captain Chris Lin’s 57, which kept them in contention.

Sadakat’s attack began with a rapid 22‑ball fifty, highlighted by a flurry of three consecutive sixes against bowler Alla Ganjafar. He completed his century on the 44th delivery, becoming the youngest player to reach three figures in CPL history.

The Kingsmen’s chase was anchored by Sadakat’s fireworks, and the partnership with Keir McEngee (22) ensured a smooth finish. Jamaica crossed the line at 145 for one in just 14.1 overs, securing a nine‑wicket win over Barbados.
