Watch out for …
Daren Ganga is a man of strong words and an impressive captain. In fact, Ian Chappell thought he should lead West Indies after the way they performed in this tournament's inaugural edition. But, of late, Ganga's own form with the bat has been poor. He had a good first-class season in the Caribbean but in his last six Twenty20 innings he has scores of 0, 7, 1, 17 and 5.Team news
T&T underperformed big time with the bat, several of their players had an off day but it was an especially bad one for Denesh Ramdin. The former West Indies vice-captain is back in the national reckoning - he's been picked for the Bangladesh tour and is a senior member of the T&T side - but will feel a bit of pressure after his duck and that missed run-out in the previous game. William Perkins is an attacking opener and a wicketkeeping option. T&T may not make any changes but their batsmen need to recover, and quickly.Stats and trivia
- Kieron Pollard has struck the most sixes for T&T in Twenty20 matches, but next in line is opener Lendl Simmons with 22. The most fours, however, have been struck by William Perkins - 60.
- David Warner is the highest run-getter for NSW in Twenty20 cricket - 924 in 30 matches. The next best is 397 runs behind, but he has played 17 games less at a better average - Phil Hughes.
