Trinidad beat Middlesex in Antigua twenty20 Updated at: 1226 PST, Tuesday, October 28, 2008ANTIGUA: A superbly paced 41 off 28 balls by Denesh Ramdin powered Trinidad and Tobago to victory over Middlesex in the battle of the trans-Atlantic Twenty20 champions and with it the prize of US$280,000.
Middlesex started slowly, and at the halfway point of the innings were 40-4. Eoin Morgan made 30 and Neil Dexter hit two fours and three sixes in 39 from 25 balls as 37 came from the final three overs and Middlesex mustered 117-8.
Middlesex had their opponents at 50-4 after 11 overs, but three catches went down, Denesh Ramdin hit 41 and a Darren Bravo six won it with four balls left.
The victory was worth $280,000, not the $20m for which England and Stanford Superstars compete on Saturday, but rather more than taken at an early season match at Southgate.
