Williams says T&T not ruffled

T&T's coach Kelvin Williams says his play­ers are grow­ing in con­fi­dence ahead of their se­mi-fi­nal show­down with Ja­maica, who re­main un­beat­en in the NAGI­CO Su­per50 tour­na­ment.The first se­mi-fi­nal takes place to­day when the Red Force square-off with Zone A win­ners Ja­maica, who qual­i­fied from their group with three straight vic­to­ries.Williams says his play­ers are not ruf­fled by the ram­pag­ing Ja­maicans, who are with­out two of their top play­ers."I think to win the tour­na­ment we have to beat every­body that is in front of us," de­clared Williams."Ja­maica will be a good game be­cause they're three-out-of-three (in Zone A) and they're the form team. At the end of the day it's what hap­pens on the day that counts and we're grow­ing in con­fi­dence".

T&T suf­fered a ma­jor set­back when they lost their open­ing match against Bar­ba­dos.How­ev­er, they bounced back to reel off re­sound­ing wins against the Lee­ward Is­lands and Com­bined Cam­pus­es and Col­leges to book their spot in the last four."The most im­por­tant things is we can't be com­pla­cent," Williams said."So long as we're not com­pla­cent we will get there (in the fi­nal)".Williams has ex­pressed con­fi­dence in his new bat­ting open­ing pair of Evin Lewis and Lendl Sim­mons.Lewis scored a 27-ball 44 while Sim­mons scored a 41-ball 31 to help T&T de­feat Com­bined Cam­pus­es and Col­leges in their last match."We tried some­thing (chang­ing the line­up) and it worked," he said."I was quite pleased with what I saw. We were con­fi­dent that Evin would come good Sun­day".
