Dwayne Bravo claimed four wickets as Trinidad & Tobago beat Somerset Sabres by 44 runs in the Airtel Champions League Twenty20.

Denesh Ramdin was the calming influence in a trigger-happy T&T batting show, the wicketkeeper batsman top-scoring with a run-a-ball 39 in a total of 150 for nine in Bangalore.

Seamer Dwayne Bravo then claimed four wickets, and T&T’s three spinners proved a handful in the middle overs as Somerset were bowled out for 106 off the last ball - leaving their chances of going through to the second round in jeopardy.

Somerset’s hopes now rest on T&T beating the Deccan Chargers in the final group game. Should the Indian Premier League team prevail, Somerset’s net run-rate could well ruin their chances.

T&T openers Lendl Simmons and William Perkins went for broke right from the start.

First change Ben Phillips took some punishment in his first over but soon got rid of Simmons.

Charl Willoughby leaked 17 runs in his first two overs but returned to remove Perkins, number three Darren Bravo and later Kieron Pollard to finish the statistical pick with three for 35.

Defending what looked a vulnerable total, Bravo quickly got the key wickets of opener Marcus Trescothick and Craig Kieswetter.

Somerset managed a measly 28 from the first six for the loss of three wickets - and the spinners continued to dominate as the middle order caved in meekly.

Somerset needed 73 from the last four overs.

Zander de Bruyn (43no) offered some hope. But when James Hildreth and Alfonso Thomas - heroes in the victory over the Deccan Chargers - were both run out, Somerset could not get close.
