Hyderabad, Oct 23 (PTI) New South Wales were crowned the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 winners after they snapped Trinidad & Tobago's fairytale campaign with a 41-run victory in a high-voltage summit clash here tonight.

In the title showdown featuring top two teams of the tournament, it was a battle between Caribbean flair and Australian profressionalism and in the end, NSW had the last laugh with Brett Lee as their star performer.

Put into bat, NSW fumbled and faltered in their innings to slump to 83 for six in the 12th over before finding a messiah in Lee, whose whirlwind 48 off 31 balls, along with Steven Smith's 33, guided them to 159 for nine.

Trinidad & Tobago's chase never gathered momentun and Kieron Pollard's (26 off 15 balls) last ditch attempt was not enough as the Caribbeans side folded for 118 in 15.5 overs.
