Allrounder, Ganja Show The Way As T&T March Into Final

Hyderabad: Dwayne Bravo turned on the style yet again, At the receiving end this time were Cape Cobras, who so in keeping with the South African tradition on big occasions, choked. Bravo's unbeaten 58 helped Trinidad & Tobago chase down another imposing target with four deliveries to spare and finished the second semifinal at 178 for three on Thursday to set up a Champions League Twenty20 summit clash with New South Wales.

With a frontal assault led by their openers William Perkins and Adrian Barath, which Lendl Simmons ensured did not lose momentum, skipper Daren Ganga and Bravo gave the finishing touches. The former coasted to an unbeaten 44 (31b, 1x4, 2x6) and Bravo scored 58 (34b, 2x4, 3x6). At one stage the Calypso charmers needed 90 from the last 10 overs.

The wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium was a beauty to bat on and the South Africans had taken particular interest in targeting the straight boundaries. For them, JP Duminy assumed charge with an unbeaten 61 (40b, 4x4, 3x6) to take Cobras to 175 for five; it probably would have been much more but for a brilliant last over by Ravi Ramapul that saw only two runs scored.
