Trinidad & Tobago eased to a nine-wicket win over Canada in the opening match of the 2010 WICB Caribbean T20.

Batting first, Canada posted 110 for eight before Trinidad & Tobago reached their victory target in 14.1 overs.

Only three Canadians reached double figures with Geoff Barnett top scoring with 37, Zubin Sarkari hitting 26 and Umar Bhatti making an unbeaten 17.

Kieron Pollard and Dave Mohammed both returned two wickets.

Adrian Barath then confirmed his return to form and fitness by blasting an unbeaten 66 in 47 balls, which included four fours and five sixes and he was given support by opening partner William Perkins (18) and Lendl Simmons (22 not out).
