Excellent bowling and batting by the Trinidadians. Ganga made a great decision when he put in Jamaica. While Jamaica must be questioning themselves about Gayle's decision to come at number 5 as well as their pathetic batting against the spin of Mohammed and Badree. Dave Mohammed is my Man-Of-the-Match. Trinidad wins by 9 wickets after 9.1 overs and after bowling out Jamaica for only 91. A really stunning performance by Trinidad and Tobago and full congratulations to them.
ITS OVER! A big six down the ground as Trinidad wins! The stumps are grabbed as the Trinis erase the disappointment of the 2006 loss.
Perkins gets his 50 as he milks a single.
Smiles all round for the Trini players and fans.
Swept for four by Simmons! 87-1 off 9 overs. A six will finish it off now.
9 left to get as Miller appeals unsuccessfully for LBW.
FOUR! Short from Miller and dispatched!
78-1 off 8 overs. Only 14 needed and the Trini players are jumping.
FOUR! A crazy shot as Perkins tries to sweep and gets a full toss. He adjusts as he is going down and paddles the ball to leg for four.
Marlon Samuels on to bowl, and is greeted by a six. With that blow William Perkins passes Danza Hyatt as the leading run scorer in the tournament.
67-1 off 7 overs. Only 25 runs needed now.
FOUR!! Short ball from Nikita Miller gets punished through the offside. A generally all round porr effort from Jamaica here tonight. Trinidad have really shined.
FOUR! A wide delivery from Powell from around the wicket gets the full treatment by Perkins. 59-1 off 6 overs.
FOUR! Perkins pulls a slow full toss from Powell to the long on boundary.
FOUR! Perkins crashes a Powell delivery through the offside. 50-1

Nikita Miller on to bowl with his left arm spin
Wide again from Taylor down the legside as the keeper appeals in vain.
FOUR!! Flick through the leg side by Perkins.
12 off that over.
FOUR!! Exquisite drive through the off side by Simmons off Powell. This could get away from Jamaica very fast (If the game is not already lost)
Two more runs...
FOUR! Beautiful off drive by Simmons
14-1 off 2. Jamaica needs to bowl out T&T if they are going to win. Trinidad just needs to milk the runs. At less than 5.0 runs per over, the asking rate is pedestrian.
Lendl Simmons out to bat and Taylor gives him a bouncer and then a beauty on the offstump first up.
OUT!! Taylor gets Ramdin driving off the outside edge and caught by the wicketkeeper. 14-1
Taylor follows with a wide down leg side.

Good ball. Powell got that ball to talk as it straightened after pitching and just missed taking the edge. 7-0 after 1 over.
FOUR! Ramdin cuts Powell for four!
Daren Powell opening the bowling for Jamaica. William Perkins and Denesh Ramdin opening the v=batting.
Its pretty obvious that one team turned up to play tonight. The Jamaicans didn't even bat out the 20 overs. Emrit took 3-18 and Mohammed with his wild celebrations, took 4-20. A very tall order for the Jamaican bowlers if they're going to defend this really small total of 91.
Emrit bowls Nikita Miller next ball. 91 all out. A real pathetic display of batting by the Jamaicans, poor footwork to the spinners early on and they paid a dear price.
The Jamaicans faces look glum in the crowd.
OUT!! Hinds caught in the deep. 91-9
Mohammed bowls Jerome Taylor with the googly! And he goes wild on the ground. Mohammed 4 overs, 4 wickets, 20 runs. Jamaica will be happy to see the end of him but its 89-8 now.
Run out!! Bravo sends in a fine return from long on that finds David Bernard Jr short of the line. 89 - 7. One of the oldest rules in cricket: Never run on a misfield and Bernard paid for it.
Mohammed gets his revenge next ball as Baugh swings across the line of the ball and is bowled! 88-6 off 15.3 overs.
A big six again from Baugh!! Maybe the Jamaicans can post a competitive total.
The rain seems to have stopped as the groundmen are sent back off the field. No interruption.
Baugh hits a six as the rain starts to come down.
Carlton Baugh sweeps for four. 69-5 off 14. Wonder if Jamaica will make 100?
Dave Mohammed is now the leading wicket taker in the tournament with 10.
Speaking of embarrassing himself, Mohammed takes off his shoe and pretends to be receiving a phone call from it?
STUMPED. Hyatt goes down after Mohammed and is stumped. Jamaica is embarrasing themselves.
63-4 off 13 overs. Dave Mohammed has Jamaica in a dizzy.
Dropped!! Emrit drops Wavell Hinds in the deep. How much will that cost T&T?
59-4 off 10 overs. Trini posse rocking in the stands.
Gayle OUT! Dave Mohammed gets him chopping a leg break onto his stumps. Trinidad celebrates. 58-4. Jamaica in deep trouble here with the big guns of Gayle and Samuels back in the hut. Gayle's had a miserable tournament.
Four!! Tickle down the legside by Gayle off Bravo.
Chris Gayle is at the wicket now and one must wonder why he didnt open.
51-3 off 10. Jamaica has to pick up the pace here. Another good T&T over.
49-3 off 9 overs. Good one there by Bravo, varied his pace well and got the big wicket of Samuels.
OUT!! Samuels goes for the six down the ground and is caught in the deep. Jamaica in trouble here. 48-3

42-2 off 8 and the Jamaicans are struggling here. Dwayne Bravo on to bowl.
Badree gets his man! Marshall drags a big slog onto his stumps. 42-2 and the Trini posse is on fire.
40-1 off 7. A chance there as the wicket keeper put down one.
Samuels struggling here in the sixth over. 38-1 off 6

Two more - cut through the offside. Twelve off the over. (18-1 off 3 overs)
Four. Full delivery hit through the legside.
Almost out!! Samuels fends a bouncer outside offstump over the first slips head. It looked deliberate by Samuels but it was close - probably should have been taken. Instead it went for four.
Rayad Emrit bowls the third over and is getting some good bounce, while Samuels swings and misses.
Only one off the second over - good one by Badree.
Samuel Badree (legspinner) bowls to Marlon Samuels. Big shout for LBW - going down leg.
