It's been an overwhelming victory for T&T. Somerset didn't have any momentum during the chase and never looked like they had a chance. The T&T spinners smothered the batsmen and wickets fell regularly as well. Bravo was exceptional, taking 4 for 23. The 44-run victory has ensured that T&T have an extremely healthy run-rate. They go to the top of the group and have one foot in the next round. They will need to be beaten very heavily by Deccan to crash out.

One down and one to go, Bangalore take on Otago at 8.00pm local time in what is a knockout match for both teams. The toss will be at half past seven. Join Cricinfo's assistant editor Andrew McGlashan for the pre-match
