The atmosphere is beginning to build here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium as is the crowd.

What an evening! What a moment. The flamboyant Trinidad and Tobago look dapper in their blood red outfit against a coldly professional Cape Cobras.

The spectators broke into raptures as Puttick called it right at the toss and decided to bat first. The loudest cheers were reserved for the cheer leaders who did a lap around the ground, sending the onlookers to a frenzy.

There is a sense of anticipation in the air already with the two teams only minutes away from a clash that is sure to challenge the faint hearted.

The players have started trickling back into their dressing rooms after some last minute knocks and fielding drills.

This is getting hot. The girls, the men in red and the Cobras in blue. There goes the DJ again. It is time to rock and roll.
