Trinidad and Tobago beat Deccan Chargers by 3 runs
Deccan Chargers
Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago have won this exciting T20 contest by 3 runs and they hence eliminate Deccan Chargers out of the tournament. Deccan Chargers were restricted to 30/3 in the 5th over but had Gilchrist playing well at the other end. His wicket in the 12th over became the turning point for once, but Venugopal Rao played a brilliant cameo towards the end, hitting 30 runs off just 19 balls to give his side a chance. But Dwayne Bravo had other plans, defending 8 runs in the last over, he gave away only 4 runs to hand his side a stunning win and Somerset a berth in the Super Eights. Hang on for the presentation news..
Dwayne Bravo is awarded the Man of the Match.
That's it from this game. The group stage has now ended and we have all our eight teams for the Super Eights. The league stage matches start from tomorrow as Royal Challengers Bangalore meet Victorian Bushrangers in the first game of the phase. Good Bye for now. Cheers!
