Somerset’s adventure in the Champion’s League may have come to an end today after they were soundly beaten by an impressive Trinidad & Tobago side. The West Indians batted first scoring 150, and Somerset suffered a second top order batting collapse. This time the tail was unable to save them. Attention now focuses on the final game in the group on Wednesday between the Deccan Chargers and Trinidad & Tobago. The good news for the Caribbean team is that they don’t have to win. They just have to get close enough to the Chargers’ score to end up with a better net run rate than Somerset. However, if they do win, then Somerset stay in the competition.

In the second game Jacques Kallis lived up to his reputation as one of the best players in the game. His 73*, backed up by a blistering 32* off 11 balls from Ross Talyor, took Bangalore to an impressive 188. Kallis then took 3 for 18 off his 4 overs, removing the top 3 of the Otago batting order. The comfortable win takes Bangalore into the next round.

Tomorrow we have Victoria v Wayamba and Bloemfontein v Sussex.
