They won the game by 4 wickets and with a comfortable 9 balls to spare.

In their chase, T&T kept on losing wickets but were in kept in the hunt slightly by the cameos from Skipper Daren Ganga (32 from 26), Darren Bravo (27 from 24) and Denesh Ramdin (23 from 13) before Pollard peformed the demolition act. Moises Henriques who has been the hero of the tournament for NSW turned villain today as he got smashed for 49 runs in 3.3 overs.
