Trinidad and Tobago
Cape Cobras
The dream run for Trinidad and Tobago continues as they beat Cape Cobras by 7 wickets to enter the finals of the inaugural Champions League T20. They will now meet New South Wales Blues from Australia for the title tomorrow at the same ground. The Caribbean side chased down that total of 176 in 19.2 overs losing only three off their wickets. Perkins (20), Barath (29) and Simmons (20), the top three, got the starts but skipper Ganga (44*) and Bravo (58*) capitalized on it and hammered a brilliant 93 runs for the 4th wicket in just 9.1 overs to take their side through. For Cape Cobras, Duminy and Ontong picked up a wicket apiece but did not find any support from rest of the bowlers. The batsmen gave them a good total which they failed to defend, all credit to the Trinidad and Tobago batsmen. Hang on for the presentations news..
Dwayne Bravo gets the Man of the Match award for his outstanding knock that helped his side win these game.
That's it for today. In the finals tomorrow, New South Wales Blues will meet Trinidad and Tobago at the same venue. It should be another thrilling contest. Do join us for that game. Good Bye for now! Cheers!
