Oct 02, 2013

Choosing to bowl, Trinidad & Tobago began strongly. Ravi Rampaul bowled the in-form Michael Hussey out for 1 in the second over•BCCI

Lendl Simmons made the breakthrough for T&T, dismissing Raina in the 11th over and went for just 10 runs in his two overs•BCCI

T&T began the chase strongly, as Evin Lewis smashed six fours and added 79 for the first wicket with Lendl Simmons•BCCI

Simmons fell in the 15th over, but it was too little too late for Super Kings as Darren Bravo took T&T over the line with 4.5 overs remaining. That meant they went to the top of Group B and set up a semi-final clash with Mumbai Indians•BCCI

Suresh Raina led Super Kings' recovery, hitting 38 off 29 and adding 55 for the second wicket with M Vijay•BCCI

MS Dhoni promoted himself up the order, but couldn't produce a big score, as Rayad Emrit turned the screws on Super Kings with three wickets•BCCI

Lewis fell for a 35-ball 38, but Simmons continued the carnage and whacked 63 off just 41•BCCI

Super Kings completely collapsed from a comfortable 78 for 2 thanks to poor shot selections and some very comical running, and were bowled out by T&T for 118•BCCI

Ravindra Jadeja in particular came in for special treatment from the batsmen, continuing his woeful form with the ball by leaking 30 from his two overs•BCCI
