T & T off spinner Sherwin Ganga put the breaks on Eagles removing Van Wyk and one down batsman Mc Laren to keep his side's hopes alive, while Simmons removed Rossouw with the fine catch by Pollard at deep mid wicket.
Pollard took the sweet revenge in removing Eagles skipper Dippenaar who struck him a sixer in the previous delivery. Dippenaar made 33 off just 19 balls with four boundaries and a sixer.
Dippenaar tried to steer a delivery of Pollard outside the offstump deflected, the man behind the stumps Ramdin did no mistake. Dillon du Preez after making 35 off 40 balls with one four and two sixes was caught by Simmons off Pollard at longon.
