Classy West In­dies and T&T Red Force bats­man Dar­ren Bra­vo will be in the lo­cal team when it faces Bar­ba­dos Pride in the Nagi­co Su­per50 fi­nal at the Queen's Park Oval, to­mor­row.

Bra­vo, whose 95 was the foun­da­tion for the Red Force's 54-run vic­to­ry over the Guyana Jaguars in the first semi­fi­nal on Wednes­day, suf­fered a thigh strain dur­ing the in­nings and did not take the field when the Guyanese chased down T&T's even­tu­al 259/9.

How­ev­er, Bra­vo con­firmed yes­ter­day he will be ready. "When I was on 52, I turned for a sec­ond run but felt a slight strain. But once I put some ice on it and have the ph­syio take a look, I should be ready," he said.

The Red Force made light work of the Guyana Jaguars to land their third suc­ces­sive Nagi­co Su­per50 fi­nals and will be look­ing to re­peat as cham­pi­ons of the three-year old tour­na­ment in to­mor­row's fi­nal.

Bra­vo's 95, along with 43 from West In­dies team­mate De­nesh Ramdin and 33 from Kjorn Ot­t­ley were backed up by a sound bowl­ing per­for­mance that scut­tled the vis­i­tors for 205 from 48.3 overs.

Off-spin­ner Jon Russ Jages­sar un­der­lined his grow­ing rep­u­ta­tion with 3/36, while Nars­ingh De­onar­ine (2-35) and Akeem Ho­sein (2-42), proved a hand­ful.

Guyana lost their top three bats­men for 42 runs with De­onar­ine send­ing back open­er As­sad Fu­dadin (9) and vet­er­an Shiv­nar­ine Chan­der­paul (6) be­fore skip­per Ja­son Mo­hammed ac­count­ed for Vishaul Singh (20).

The Guyanese mid­dle showed some fight through a part­ner­ship of 65 be­tween skip­per Leon John­son (20) and An­tho­ny Bram­ble (51).But once John­son be­came the first of Jages­sar's vic­tims, and Bram­ble, the first for Ho­sein, Guyana nev­er re­cov­ered, with wick­ets falling reg­u­lar­ly.

Ear­li­er, Bra­vo need­ed 108 balls and struck four fours and five six­es en route to his top score, while Ramdin, with whom he added 90 for the fourth wick­et struck five fours and faced 44 balls for his 43.Bra­vo's part­ner­ship with Ot­t­ley was worth 85 for the third wick­et with Ot­t­ley need­ing 62 balls. he struck three fours.

Skip­per Mo­hammed paid trib­ute to his team, de­scrib­ing the ef­fort as sat­is­fy­ing. "It's won­der­ful to see how the se­nior play­ers have adapt­ed and are mak­ing a dif­fer­ence. Bra­vo's in­nings was im­por­tant but so too, were Ramdin's and Ot­t­ley's. I think our bowlers hit the right ar­eas. I was a bit dis­ap­point­ed with the num­ber of catch­es we dropped but hope­ful­ly we can cor­rect this in the fi­nal."

Bra­vo called on the pub­lic to come out and sup­port the team."It's go­ing to be a good match and we want the fans to come out and sup­port us."
