Dwayne Bravo struck an unbeaten 58 from 34 balls as Trinidad & Tobago reached the final of the Champions League Twenty20 yesterday, when they completed a seven-wicket victory over the Cape Cobras of South Africa.

The West Indies all-rounder hit four fours and three sixes in his knock, as the Calypso Warriors, chasing 176 for victory from their allocation of 20 overs, reached their target with four balls to spare in the second semi-final at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Threat

Bravo formalised the victory when he swung the second ball of the final over from Rory Kleinveldt through mid-wicket for his last four, after he and T&T captain Daren Ganga put on 93 - unbroken - for the fourth wicket.

Ganga got 44 not out from 31 balls and the result meant that his side will face New South Wales Blues in the final today at the same venue for a chance to win US $2.5 million.

T&T's dream run in the competition looked under threat, after Jean-Paul Duminy hit four fours and three sixes in 61 not out from 40 deliveries, and fellow South Africa international Herschelle Gibbs made 42 from 27 balls to lead the Cobras to 175 for five from their 20 overs.

But Adrian Barath - in particular - and William Perkins again gave T&T a sound platform of 53 from the first five overs for the first wicket.

The final will be a replay of an earlier match in the competition, when T&T beat the Blues by four wickets in the Super Eight stage.
