diamond eagles vs sussex sharks

11th Match, Group B: Eagles v Sussex at Delhi
Oct 13 (20:00 local, 14:30 GMT)

Diamond Eagles will play in a key encounter tomorrow against Sussex Sharks.

The Diamond Eagles team from South Africa came to the subcontinent without a clue of T20 matches. They were outplayed by the NSW Blues in what had been a one-sided match. There had been nothing great that the Eagles would like to take from the match, other than Shadley van Schalkwyk’s 2 wicket haul and Ryan McLaren’s 40.

The captain looked rusty and did not have answer to the NSW Blues’ bowling, there looked not much confidence or spirit within the team, but Boeta Dippenar is an experienced campaigner and can change the dressing room atmosphere. The match against Sussex Sharks is crucial and they will have to win with a convincing margin against the Sussex Sharks.

For Sussex Sharks too this is a crucial tie and they will play for a win and a possible scale to the next level of the league. Their fancied players including Piyush Chawla, Dwayne Smith were hammered by the NSW Blues players Philip Hughes and Moises Henriques who were awesome helping their team post a big 130/2.

Although 131 wasn’t a huge target to chase, none of the Sussex batsmen applied and they looked off focus and went off in quick succession scoring mean 95 runs. Now if they are to win against Diamond Eagles, they will have to stay focused and play as per plan.

The winner of this match is tough to predict.
