Bravos star in warm-up win for T&T

BANGALORE, India, CMC – West Indies champions Trinidad and Tobago were piloted by top performances from the Bravo brothers as they whipped Karnata State by 110 runs in a Champions League Twenty20 warm-up match on Thursday.

Dwayne Bravo lashed 60 not out and his younger brother Darren stroked 53 in T&T’s score of 199 for five, to which Karnata State replied with 89 for six off their 20 overs at Jan School Ground.

Captain Daren Ganga (23) and Kieron Pollard (23) were the other leading contributors in the T&T innings before Samuel Badree (2-8) led the Caribbean side’s stifling bowling effort.

The reigning Stanford T20 champions are slated to play another warm-up match before their first Group A match against the English T20 runners-up Somerset, with Leeward Islands all-rounder Omari Banks, on Monday.

T&T will also face reigning Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Deccan Chargers, with West Indies pacer Fidel Edwards, in Group A play.
