Trinidad to be sent packing
October 02, 2011 09:57:16 UK
Current champions Chennai Super Kings will have a keen eye on the opening fixture of the day as will their supporters who will pack the ground in anticipation of Trinidad and Tobago being sent home after a third defeat.
The West Indies side have battled well with little luck in the competition so far. They know that defeat will be fatal to their chances but Darren Ganga has proved to be a shrewd captain and his side have been resilient, if unsuccessful, so far.
Ravi Rampaul may prove to be the best fast bowler statistically in the competition by its completion, but the doubt on run-gathering is more worrying.
To face the current champions in a must-win game at this stage of the proceedings is a daunting challenge. MS Dhoni's men will be cheered on by a passionate home crowd and the fact that they know what it takes to win the title may prove to be a strong weight in their favour.

Mike Hussey is a proven gladiator and he is backed up by Suresh Raina and the skipper. Dwayne Bravo is an all-action all-round cricketer who is a major asset to any side and the fact that he will be directly in opposition to his brother just adds spice to the match.
With a little luck, Trinidad could have won both their games, but they will do very well to overcome the champions, the crowd and their own star man to keep their slim hopes alive. Hussey to be his side's top scorer at 3.75 appears a good bet but surely Chennai must prevail at 1.40. Trinidad can be backed at 3.00 to cause a shock by winning the match.
