Ganga recognition spinners for solid win


Trinidad and Tobago captain Darren Ganga applauded his spinners for setting up their five-wicket victory over debutants Ruhunu in the opening NCL T20 qualifier.

Ganga said the win will boost his side's self-confidence as they get ready to take on Leicestershire in their next game on Tuesday.

"We have got some practiced slow bowlers. They have done tricks for us time and time again. We just consideration that spinners did the trick," Ganga told reporters at the post-match press conference.

"We need to take care at top of the order and how we move toward things to change the momentum of the game. The win has helped our self-assurance to grow further," he added.

Noting that the team relies a lot on the spinners, he said he would decide on the composition depending on the track.

"We play to our strengths. We rely on their (spinners) experience heavily. If conditions change, if we got a track that has got lot of grass and looks very hard, we got the quality of players and we make the essential decisions," he said.

Ganga was all praise for Darren Bravo and Sherwin Ganga, whose incomplete sixth wicket partnership of 53 in just 26 balls helped the team win the game.

"Bravo knew what accurately his role was and Sherwin also played well," he said.

Meanwhile, Ruhunu's TM Sampath said the team predictable to get around 150 to 160 runs but failed to do so.

"We have to score at least 150-160. We missed some fielding that is the rotating point for the game. We are not giving up the event. We are looking forward to the next match. We still have a chance to qualify," he said.
