Trinidad & Tobago innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
LMP Simmons	c Thomas b Phillips	22	19	4	0	115.78
	4.5 it had to end sometime, the way they were going! Simmons makes room and slashes hard at a short of a length ball outside off stump, he slices it in the air and straight to Thomas on the third-man boundary, simple catch and the first wicket goes with the score on 43 43/1
WKD Perkins	b Willoughby	20	11	3	1	181.81
	5.1 and he's struck right away! He bowled a full and straight ball, Perkins should have played straight but he tried to work the ball on the leg side and missed, the ball crashed into middle stump 49/2
DM Bravo	c & b Willoughby	9	3	0	1	300.00
	5.6 caught and bowled! Or is it? What's going on? Bravo hit the ball hard towards Willoughby's right, the bowler stuck out his right hand and plucked an excellent reflex catch on his follow through, there were no celebrations though from the bowler but it's certainly out, Bravo eventually made his way off the ground 59/3
D Ganga*	b Waller	23	18	1	1	127.77
	10.6 bowled! Ganga moved back and tried to pull, his left leg was outside leg stump and I think the ball bounced off it on to his stumps, yes it did, it hit his left thigh and deflected on to the stumps 90/5
DJ Bravo	c Suppiah b Waller	0	1	0	0	0.00
	6.2 Bravo's gone too! Waller delivers a flighted delivery outside off stump, Bravo reaches out for it and tries to drive through cover, his foot is far from the pitch of the ball and he ends up edging straight to Suppiah at short third man, T&T are unravelling here 60/4
D Ramdin†	b Thomas	39	39	2	0	100.00
	19.4 bowled him! Ramdin moves across his stumps and tries to flick a full ball from outside off, the ball cannons off the inside edge on to off stump 149/8
KA Pollard	c Suppiah b Willoughby	12	14	1	0	85.71
	15.4 Pollard's caught! He got a full toss outside off stump and tried to pull it but ended up slicing it high in the air to Suppiah at point, Pollard's not walking because he thinks it might be a no-ball for height but he's been given his marching orders by the umpire 121/6
R Rampaul	b Thomas	2	5	0	0	40.00
	17.3 Rampaul stayed in his crease and tried to pull a ball that was much too full, he missed and Thomas hit middle stump, T&T's batsmen have gone down swinging today ... 128/7
S Ganga	not out	18	8	2	1	225.00
D Mohammed	run out (Thomas)	0	1	0	0	0.00
	19.5 from Thomas, Mohammed's run out! He digs out a terrific yorker straight back to the bowler and sets off for a run. He wanted to give Ganga the strike but there was not even the remotest hope of a run, Thomas picks up the ball and ambles to the striker's end and runs out Mohammed 149/9
S Badree	not out	1	1	0	0	100.00
Extras	(w 4)	4
Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs)	150	(7.50 runs per over)
