Twenty Twenty Thriller - Diamond Eagles beat Sussex Yes it was a T20 thriller scores of both team being tied in twenty overs and match then progressing to SUPER OVER, I guessed BOWL OUT would have been more interesting. The match refreshed the memories of ICC Cricket T20 world cup India vs Pak bowl out I have posted the video also ;)
With this win Diamond Eagles qualified for the Super eight of the Champions League Twenty20. Sussex Sharks is now out of the tournament.
Chasing 120 to win, Diamond Eagles made 119 for four in 20 overs as the match ended in a tie and stretched into the Super Over.
Diamond Eagles started off well but lost momentum in the middle overs as they lost a few wickets. Rossouw made a super half-century but fell at a crucial stage.
Ryan McLaren kept his cool to strike two boundaries in the final over and tie the match. Batting first in the Super Over, Rossouw came to the party yet again. Along with McLaren the duo added 9 runs off the bowling off Arafat.
However, only two balls were needed to determine the winner as Cornelius de Villiers shattered Sussex's chances of qualification by bowling Smith and Brown of consecutive deliveries.
