0.2  Greg Smith to Lendl Simmons, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
0.3  Greg Smith to Lendl Simmons, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
0.4  Greg Smith to Lendl Simmons, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1)

Tendai Chatara gave Trinidad & Tobago a massive scare by making early inroads. He dismissed Daren Bravo and Lendl Simmons, while his opening partner Greg Smith sent Daren Ganga back to the pavilion, and had a run out in his over which saw Jason Mohammed be dismissed cheaply as well. At 24/4, Dinesh Ramdin and Sherwin Ganga played brilliant innings to propel T&T's score. Kevon Cooper's 12-ball 20 was the cherry on top as T&T finished with 177/6.

Tendai Chatara picked a wicket more after his two early dismissals to finish with figures of 3/32, being slightly more on the expensive side. Greg Smith and Timycen Maruma picked a wicket apiece, but the latter went for 12-an over. 178 is a massive target and will require some chasing against a bowling attack of T&T's calibre, can the Mountaineers pull off a heist of a victory?

Ravi Rampaul and Kevon Cooper blow Mountaineers away with a dueling 4-wicket hauls.

Steven Nyamuzinga and Greg Smith played the innings of their lives, sadly they were not enough. Trinidad & Tobago beat Mountaineers by 29 runs to book a place in the first semi-final against Hampshire Royals.

Cape Cobras started their innings with fire despite losing Graeme Smith in the very first over to Andre Adams. Dane Vilas and Richard Levi added a 52-run stand for the second wicket before their pairing was brought to a screeching halt by Andre Adams. Adams dismissed Vilas, who departed after a belligerent 11-ball 30. Levi followed Vilas to the pavilion three balls later after calling for a misjudged run. JP Duminy, the next man in, CLT20 knockout game centurion, was cleaned-up for a golden duck by Andre Adams.

Justin Ontong's anchorman knock of 67 from 40 deliveries alongside Owais Shah's literal anchoring knock of a run-a-ball 36 which did more to harm Cape Cobras than it did to help them, took Cape Cobras to 184/8 in their 20.0 overs. Andre Adams picked big wickets but went for plenty of runs, not unlike Chris Martin who was brought in as a replacement for Kyle Mills for leaking runs. Colin de Grandhomme was also very expensive, going for 10-and-a-half-an over for one wicket. Daryl Tuffey took two lower-order wickets economically.

Incredible run-chase seals perhaps the most iconic Kiwi victory in Champions League history! Auckland Aces becomes the first Kiwi club to win in a Champions League knockout game and advance further in the knockouts. Aces' top-order turbo-charged the run-chase, smashing Cape Cobras' bowlers all over the park. Cobras made an attempt to get back into the game after the dismissals of Auckland's top-order but it was too late by that point. Martin Guptill led Auckland with a brilliant 48-ball 65 which was accommodated nicely by Lou Vincent's 38-ball 53 and Rob Quiney's top-order blitz of 37 from 17 balls.

Aces batted brilliantly to successfully chase down 185. They smacked a bowler of Dale Steyn's calibre for 31 runs in his first 3.0 overs, and then 14 more in his last. JP Duminy and Robin Peterson were more effective on this pitch than Cobras' pace-bowlers, with Duminy being the most economical of all Cobras bowlers despite going wicketless. Auckland Aces achieved this uphill task and now have an even more intimidating opponent in Chennai Super Kings waiting for them in the second semi-final. Cape Cobras crash out of the Champions League rather shockingly.

Dominic Cork's decision to bat first turned out to be the correct one as Hampshire Royals' compiled a 167-run target in an all-important semi-final. James Vince top-scored with 62 from 44 deliveries in an innings that included seven fours and a six. Cameos and blitz here and there kept Hampshire on track for a big total against a formidable opponent. Shahid Afridi's 6-ball 16 gave Hampshire Royals that extra push as they finished with 166/8.

Ravi Rampaul conceded 39 runs in his 4.0 overs after taking 4 wickets in the previous game. Kevon Cooper's 2 for 25 was the most prolific figure for Trinidad & Tobago. Samuel Badree, Shannon Gabriel and Rayad Emrit took a wicket each. Cooper and Badree were the most economical even if they didn't pick up a lot of wickets. Trinidad & Tobago's pace-bowlers were smashed by Hampshire Royals. On a pitch where a legbreak bowler in Samuel Badree and pacer in Kevon Cooper, who constantly changes and drops his pace were successful, dropping Sunil Narine maybe wasn't the most clever of ideas.

Hampshire Royals steal a 7-run win and a berth in the final as Trinidad & Tobago completely lost their way towards the end. Danny Briggs, Sean Ervine and Shahid Afridi were the game changers for the Royals, no doubt. With 35 runs required off 24 deliveries and 7 wickets still in hand, it seemed like it would be a cruise for Trinidad & Tobago. Little did they know that a massive late-order collapse would be waiting for them. Danny Briggs, Sean Ervine and Shahid Afridi took two wickets in an over each. It's rare if it happens once, rarer if it happens twice and simply unbelievable if it happens thrice in the same game. Unfortunately for Trinidad & Tobago, the 'unbelievable' did occur.

From requiring 35 runs with 7 wickets in hand, Trinidad & Tobago went on to lose the game by 7 runs. The absence of their star-performers Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard in the middle-order really hampered their confidence and it eventually resulted in an unbelievable collapse that would see them out of the tournament. This is the first defeat Trinidad & Tobago has suffered at Champions League, ever. Their 8-game winning streak comes to an end as Hampshire Royals narrowly get away with a 7-run victory, straight into the 2011 Champions League final.
