Trinidad and Tobago(TT) have beaten Jamaica to finish top of Zone “A” and entered the semi finals of the Caribbean Twenty20 tournament in West Indies.

Trinidad and Tobago, who finished as runners-up in the last edition of Airtel Champions League T20, join Guyana, Barbados and Jamaica to complete the semi-final line up.

Trinidad and Tobago had to turn to Darren Bravo, who scored 65 runs from 44 balls with four boundaries and three sixes as they finished with 157/7 in the rain curtailed match.

Chasing the target, Jamaica did not start well as Dwayne Bravo trapped Brenton Parchment leg before wicket in the opening over and then rest of the batting followed suit resulting in a 49 run defeat at Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain. Defeat meant Jamaica finish second in Zone -A.

Trinidad and Tobago will take on Guyana while in the second match Barbados will face Jamaica. The two winners of the semi-finals will meet in the grand final on Saturday.

The winners of this tournament will automatically qualify for the Airtel Champions League T20 which kicks off on September 10, 2010.
