Champions League Twenty20 2009 Final
NSW Blues vs Trinidad & Tobago
Match : NSW Blues vs Trinidad & Tobago Final
Date : 23 October 2009 - day/night
Time : 20:00 local time (14:30 GMT)
Place : Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad.
Katich said he had no preference about NSW's opponent in the final, which will be decided on Thursday evening when T&T clash with Cape Cobras. "Whoever we play we know it is a tough match," a tired-looked Katich said, having flown to Hyderabad barely hours after the win on Wednesday night. "The only thing is we haven't played the Cobras, so it is going to be a bit of unknown but that applies to both teams."
NSW already have an idea of T&T, after they were flattened by Kieron Pollard's match-turning 15-ball half-century on Sunday. But Katich said he wasn't afraid to run into the only undefeated team in the tournament again. "We were little off in the game against T&T. (But) It came at a good time and it didn't cost us too badly and instead motivated us to make sure we went up a gear in the remaining games and that showed last night."
The only unbeaten team in the Champions League produced another compelling performance oozing with Caribbean flair to knock the Cape Cobras out of the tournament and set up a summit clash against New South Wales. The second semi-final wasn't anywhere near as one-sided as the first, though, and Trinidad & Tobago and the Cobras traded blow for blow, wrestling for the upper hand until Dwayne Bravo's first significant contribution with the bat in the competition turned the contest on a thrilling evening in Hyderabad.
