In a superb exhibition of cricket, they won the inaugural Stanford 20/20 for 20 with a ruthless triumph over England on Saturday night. Andre Fletcher, the initial aggressor who cracked Stuart Broad for three consecutive fours in the second over, played a good supporting role in an undefeated 32 off 31 balls. It was the captain who fittingly ended the match with a six over over long-on off Broad. It was a US$20 million stroke.
England 99 in 19.5 overs (Samit Patel 22; Sulieman Benn 3.5-0-16-3, Darren Sammy 4-0-13-2, Jerome Taylor 4-0-25-2, Kieron Pollard 4-0-26-2). Stanford Superstars 101-0 in 12.4 overs (Chris Gayle 65 not out, Andre Fletcher 32 not out). Stanford Superstars won by 10 wickets.
It then turned into a Chris Gayle party. The Stanford Superstars captain unleashed a ferocious assault in marching to an unbeaten 65 off only 45 balls. Gayle ended the match with his fifth six as the Stanford Superstars raced to the target in only 12.4 overs to set of widespread celebrations around the ground. After the winning cheque was handed over, confetti and champagne took over for a few moments before there was a spectacular fireworks display that carried the night's activities to a new level. "Words cannot explain how Chris Gayle feels. I have never felt like this before in any type of match," the Stanford Superstars captain said. "This is better than anything in the world. I tell you that straight up. I am happy for the guys right now." Watch the Full Highlights of the Finals of the Stanford T20 for 20 Million Against the England below :

Watch Online Full Video Highlights from the Match 5 of Stanford T20 for 20 Million whereThe Stanford Superstars have sent a strong message. Watch out England! In a thoroughly clinical performance, the Stanford Superstars crushed Middlesex by 58 runs in the fifth match of the Stanford Super Series on Thursday night to signal that they will be hard to beat come Saturday. That's when they face England in the Stanford 20/20 for 20 and the opponents would have taken careful note of an awesome display. Everything on the night worked to perfection for the Stanford Superstars.
The batting spearheaded by Andre Fletcher's superb unbeaten 90 off 66 balls that was decorated with a proliferation of sixes, piloted them to 173 for four, the highest total of the series. The bowling, with pacer Darren Powell's aggression setting the tone, was accurate throughout and Middlesex could only respond with 115 in 17.3 overs. The fielding was also of a high standard. Not a single catch was put down and Ramnaresh Sarwan pulled off arguably the most sensational catch of the week when he ran several yards to his left at deep mid-wicket and threw himself full length to haul in the catch inches off the ground.
After the match, Kieron Pollard, one of the Stanford Superstars who shone on the night, spoke of the optimism the squad had ahead of the Stanford 20/20 for 20. "We consider ourselves to be quietly confident going into the game," Pollard said. "We are just going to put everything together, what we have done in the last couple of games." After Middlesex's impressive start to the match when they cheaply removed Stanford Superstars captain Chris Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, they were stunned by the assault that followed. A whopping 14 sixes came off the rampaging bats of the Stanford Superstars and Fletcher accounted for seven of them, including three in successive overs early in the match.

Watch Online Full Video Highlights from the Match 4 of Stanford T20 for 20 Million where The official records will show that England won, but it was a moral victory for Trinidad and Tobago. The Champions Cup winners and Stanford 20/20 champions pushed the international opposition to the limit before losing a fascinating match by one run on Tuesday night. A tense finish to the fourth match of the Stanford Super Series brought the crowd to life. The match was England's last game before they face the Stanford Superstars on Saturday in a US$20 million contest.
Brief Score : England 141-6 in 20 overs (Kevin Pietersen 44, Ian Bell 37; Sherwin Ganga 4-0-23-4). Trinidad and Tobago 140-9 in 20 overs (Denesh Ramdin 37, Lendl Simmons 21, Andrew Flintoff 4-0-30-3, Paul Collingwood 4-0-12-2). England won by one run.
For the second straight night, Denesh Ramdin was the man behind Trinidad and Tobago's run-chase, but he just couldn't finish it on this occasion. Chasing England's 141 for six, Trinidad and Tobago were up against it when they needed 49 runs from the last five overs, but Ramdin played brilliantly for 37 off 36 balls and the target gradually became within reach. When he fell at the end of the 18th over, 17 runs were still needed and the match went into the final over with ten runs required for victory. England turned to Steve Harmison who only allowed one run off the bat and a leg-bye from the first three balls.Bell was the main source of runs in the early stages with 37 off 41 balls, but yet again leg-spinner Samuel Badree was effective with the new ball in four tidy overs that yielded 15 runs.

Watch Online Full Video Highlights from the Stanford T20 for T20 Million, Match 1, 25th Oct, 2008. Stanford Superstars warmed up for their US$20 million showdown against England with a hard-fought victory by 22 runs over Trinidad and Tobago at the Stanford Cricket Ground on Saturday night.

"We had our plans. We lost a few wickets too early. In the end, we got up to a decent total that we knew we could defend," Joseph said."We competed throughout the game. We slipped a little bit in the field. I was thinking about a total of 120, 130 given the start that we had," Ganga said. "Unfortunately we dropped a few matches, but be that as it may, if you told me we were going to be chasing 147 against the Superstars, I'd take that any day."
