Trinidad and Tobago will take on the Cape Cobras in the semifinal of the Twenty20 Champions League in Hyderabad, India on Thursday.

Daren Ganga's men stunned the cricket world last year when they won the regional Stanford Twenty20 competition in the Caribbean.

And so far, Trinidad and Tobago is the only unbeaten team in the Champions League. In its first match, Trinidad cruised past Somerset. However, they were given a stern test in their second match by IPL champions the Deccan Chargers, but a superb last over from Dwayne Bravo saw the men in red seal a last ball three wicket victory.

A sparkling 18 ball 50 from Kieron Pollard then helped Trinidad and Tobago overcome New South Wales in a match that they had seemed certain to lose.

Trinidad's most recent victory was against the South African team—the Diamond Eagles. They produced a fine batting display in that match, scoring 213 from their 20 overs.

Despite its success, it is hard to see Trinidad and Tobago defying the Odds and winning the title.
