The Cape Cobras are in a fantastic position to reach the final of the Twenty20 Champions Trophy after they made 175 from their 20 overs against Trinidad and Tobago at Hyderabad on Thursday.

Trinidad took the cricket world by storm last year when they won the regional Stanford Twenty20 tournament in the Caribbean.

Daren Ganga's men have continued to impress in the Champions Trophy; they are the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far.

In their first match, Trinidad and Tobago brushed aside Somerset, then followed that up with an epic last-ball three-run victory against the Deccan Chargers. Kieron Pollard then helped them seal a superb victory against New South Wales.

JP Dumminy played a superb innings to help the Cobras post their formidable total; he was unbeaten on 63 at the end of their innings.

It is hard to see Trinidad and Tobago upsetting the odds and winning the title after being faced with this deficit.
