Trinidad and Tobago beat Somerset by 44 runs
 
Trinidad and Tobago have pulled off a stunning win here beating the Somerset Sabers by 44 runs, bowling them out for 106 in 20 overs. Chasing 151, Somerset to their disadvantage, lost their star batsman Trescothick pretty early and the rest followed. It was a quality performance by the West Indian bowling attack. The wicket looked tailor-made for them as all their slow bowlers and spinners got great purchase from it. Dwayne Bravo ended with brilliant figures of 4-23 off his 4 overs. Zander de Bruyn(43*) ended as the top scorer for Somerset but did not find any support from the other end with Langer being the second top with just 15. Stay tuned for the presentation news..
 
Sherwin Ganga gets the Man of the Match award for his cameo of 18 runs off 8 balls and a couple of wickets as well.
 
That's it from this game. We have another match coming our way in a short while. Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Otago Volts in a knock-out game for both the sides. Do join us for that game.

Ravi Rampaul to start off proceedings for the Trinidad and Tobago side.
