Trinidad win to set up NSW final

Champions League, Hyderabad : Trinidad & Tobago 178-3 (19.2 overs) beat Cape Cobras 175-5 (20 overs) by seven wickets. Trinidad & Tobago will play New South Wales in Friday's Champions League final after beating South African side Cape Cobras with four balls to spare.

Herschelle Gibbs made 42 from 27 balls before JP Duminy hit an unbeaten 61 as Cobras made 175-5 from their 20 overs. Trinidad lost their top three to reach 85-3 at the halfway point.

But an unbeaten stand of 93 by captain Daren Ganga (44) and Dwayne Bravo (58) booked the undefeated Caribbean side's place in Friday's final in Hyderabad .

Having smashed three sixes in his 61 from 40 deliveries, Duminy went on to take a wicket with his off-spin, trapping teenage opener Adrian Barath lbw for 29 in his first over.

Barath and William Perkins (20) added 53 for the first wicket before both fell in quick succession, while Lendl Simmons made 20 to add to his economical spell of 2-17 from three overs.

But it was the big hitting of Bravo - dropped on 17 by Justin Ontong - that won it for the West Indians.

Earlier, Ganga had handed off-spinning brother Sherwin the new ball, and he bowled Cobras captain Andrew Puttick before Gibbs launched a characteristic assault on the Trinidad attack.

But the Cobras innings ended in anti-climax as Ravi Rampaul conceded just two runs in the final over. New South Wales won Wednesday's first semi-final, seeing off Victoria by 79 runs.

The final takes place on Friday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad - which was the venue when the two finalists met earlier in the competition.

Trinidad won by four wickets on that occasion after an astonishing 54 not out from 18 balls by Kieron Pollard.
