Trinidad and Tobago have been the most dominating team in the ongoing Champions League and even after making the final without losing a single match, skipper Daren Ganga says they are far from being content.
The Caribbean side trounced Cape Cobras by seven wickets in the second final to set up tomorrow's final against NSW Blues of Australia.
Ganga played a crucial role with an unbeaten 44 and together with Dwayne Bravo (54 not out) put on an unbeaten 93-run stand to lead the side to yet another impressive win.
"I am quite happy to be in the final. But we are not content with just this (semifinal) win. Tonight is going to be pretty chill though. We have set ourselves goals. We have five wins and it's final tomorrow and if we get that sixth win they (teammates) can celebrate," Ganga said after the match.
The Caribbean team had lost three top-order batsmen at the half-way mark while chasing a huge 176-run target but Ganga said they could afford a fearless approach only because of a strong batting order.
"We had confidence that we have guys to win it. There was Kieron Pollard, Navin Stewart and Denesh Ramdin to come so that gave us the freedom to bat freely," he said.
Despite having beaten NSW Blues earlier in the League stage, Ganga was not ready to take their opponents light in the final.
"I know one thing for sure that NSW won't be happy at all with our victory in the League round. We are bracing ourself for a backlash. We know it's a final. We know they are a quality team. They have quality players. We are not going to underestimate them at all.
"What ever happened in the league round. It's history. Tomorrow is about re-grouping. Hopefully we can bring lot of smiles to lot of faces," Ganga said.
Ganga was also keen that his bowlers perform better in the power-play.
"We are never satisfied with the manner in which we played. Last game we played was a near perfect game but still we have areas of concerns like we need to bowl better in the first six overs," he said.
