Shimron Hetmyer slams his second hundred of CPL 2026: Stats
What's the story
Jamaica Kingsmen have stormed into the final of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026. They achieved this feat by successfully chasing down a daunting target of 207 runs against Guyana Amazon Warriors in the second qualifier. Albeit in a losing cause, Guyana's Shimron Hetmyer scored a stunning century - his second of the season. Here we look at his performance and stats.
Match details
Hetmyer's blistering century goes in vain
The Kingsmen opted to bowl first, a decision that was initially vindicated by the Warriors's poor start.
However, Hetmyer turned the tide with an explosive 102 not out off just 45 balls while batting at four.
He smashed eight sixes and four fours, helping his team post a challenging total of 206/4 in their allotted overs.
Shai Hope was the next best scorer for the Warriors with a solid 40 runs off 33 balls.
However, their efforts went in vain with the Kingsmen crossing the line in the final over.
Stats
Second batter with this feat
Earlier in the season, Hetmyer scored an explosive 111* runs off just 43 balls against Trinbago Knight Riders.
As per Cricinfo, the southpaw became just the second batter to hammer multiple tons in a CPL season.

Hetmyer shares the second place with Nicholas Pooran.
