Watch Deccan Chargers vs Trinidad Live Streaming Online for Free. Deccan Chargers would not want a difference of one wicket to end their run in the Champions League. That's the margin they lost to Somerset by during a thrilling game in Hyderabad, and only victory against Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday - which, if achieved, will be their first in nine attempts in their home city - can ensure their progress to the next round. Trinidad are more comfortably placed with a healthy net run-rate of 2.20, well above the others in the Group A. Even if they lose to Deccan, they still stand a chance of making the next round; they just have to ensure they don't lose by a margin big enough to bring their current net run-rate below Somerset's -1.00.
Somerset, in a helpless situation, can only hope T&T knock Deccan out, or knock themselves out by losing heavily.
Deccan have a side packed with batsmen, but failed to build on an explosive start provided by VVS Laxman and Adam Gilchrist in their tournament opener. The main problem, though, lay with their bowling. Having reduced Somerset to 99 for 7 in a chase of 154, they failed to shut them out. But with their experience, they hold a slight edge against T&T, who caused a huge surprise against Somerset with their clinical bowling display led by Dwayne Bravo. While Deccan were left demoralised by a last-ball defeat, the West Indian champions are fresh with confidence after a comprehensive win, and the outcome could well hinge on whether Deccan can use their experience to bounce back.
