NEW DELHI: After losing the important wicket of Mike Hussey early, Suresh Raina and Murali Vijay put up a crucial stand in their Champions League Twenty20 match at the Feroze Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Scorecard

After being put into bat, Chennai Super Kings got off to a bad start as they lost Mike Hussey early.

Ravi Rampaul gave Trinidad the early breakthrough when he got the better of Hussey's (1) stumps after T&T won the toss and decided to bowl against Chennai Super Kings.

The Caribbean side, which finished runners up in 2009, faces their toughest test in the league so far against the Dhoni-led unit which has already sealed its spot in the final four.

If T&T fail to tame the Chennai giants, given the run-rate scenario in Group B, the Islanders would want to curtail the margin of defeat as they are placed second, ahead of the Titans in the table.

Both T&T and Titans have eight points each from two wins but the former side have a better run-rate (+0.407) as compared to the Titans (+0.228).

Teams:

Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (Capt. & wk), Murali Vijay, Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina, Subramaniam Badrinath, Dwayne Bravo, Albie Morkel, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder, Mohit Sharma.

Trinidad & Tobago: Denesh Ramdin (Capt. & wk), Lendl Simmons, Evin Lewis, Darren Bravo, Yannick Ottley, Nicolas Pooran, Sunil Narine, Rayad Emrit, Navin Stewart, Samuel Badree, Ravi Rampaul.
