For Trinidad and Tobago, who earned a place in the Champions League after beating England’s national team in the USD 20 million winner-takes-all Stanford Twenty20 big bash, the goal would be to get off to a winning start. Led by Daren Ganga, the Caribbeans have not yet played in the Champions League but boast of a fairly strong line-up that includes hard-hitting all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who will be the key for the side in batting, bowling and fielding. Dwayne’s half-brother Darren and Lendl Simmons are also considered good prospects with the bat, while Trinidad and Tobago also have Kieron Pollard in their ranks. One thing preying on their minds will be that a win against Somerset by a reasonable margin will put their net run rate on favourable footing since Somerset’s win over Hyderabad was achieved off the last ball, and they couldn’t build a hugely positive net run rate. Skipper Darren Ganga insists that he has a spinning ace up his sleeve in Dave Mohammad, though it’s not certain he will be a part of the starting eleven. If he is, he can take inspiration from the fact that he will be playing in the city that is the hometown of one of the greatest spinners the game has known – Anil Kumble.
