E Lewis c Cutting b McDermott 19 (19b) DM Bravo c Hartley b Roach 0 (2b) LMP Simmons b McDermott 14 (7b) ==================================================================================== Toss: James Hopes has won the toss and elected to bowl first. Brisbane Heat are without Luke Pomersbach, Ryan Harris, Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson and Thisara Perera. It would be a difficult task for them to beat T&T. S Narine will be the trump card for T&T. ==================================================================================== Squad: Brisbane James Hopes (c), Chris Hartley (wk), Joe Burns, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, Peter Forrest, Dominic Michael, Nathan Hauritz, Matthew Gale, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Cameron Gannon, Alex Kemp, Kemar Roach, Chris Sabburg, Bradley Ipson Trinidad and Tobago Denesh Ramdin (c & wk), Nicolas Pooran, Rayad Emrit, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Evin Lewis, Samuel Badree, Navin Stewart, Shannon Gabriel, Yannick Ottley, Adrian Barath, Sherwin Ganga, Lendl Simmons, Ravi Rampaul, Darren Bravo
