Defending Champions Trinidad & Tobago win President's Cup

Defending Champions Trinidad & Tobago are again the 2009 President's Cup Champions after defeating hosts Guyana by 81 runs in the final played in Providence. Guyana  had no reply to the massive score posted by T&T of 286/6 and could only muster 205.

Batting first, Trinidad and Tobago made 286-6 off their 50 overs, thanks to Darren Bravo who top scored with 76 and Kieron Pollard who made 57. They were also good contributions from captain Daren Ganga with 46 and Denesh Ramdin at the end with 44 not out.

286 was always going to be a very challenging target, as it was also the highest score of the tournament. They Guyanese always found it tough in their chase. Ramnaresh Sarwan stood firm with a fighting 60. R Crandon made 46 and Travis Dowlin made 41, but it was never going to be enough to reach the T&T target. Pollard was the main wicket taker with 3, while Mohammed and Rampaul took 1 wicket each.
