Diamond Eagles finished runner-up to Cape Cobras in the Standard Bank Pro 20 Series in the last season to qualify for the tournament. A young side led by former South African top order batsman Boeta Dippenaar, the side could well produce some upsets as not much is known about the players, which could hinder the strategy planning of the opponents.
Match Record:
Matches Played - 42
Matches Won - 22
Matches Lost - 17
Matches Tied - 2
No Result - 1
Players to watch out for:
Batsmen -
Boeta Dippenaar is a steady batsman rather than a dasher and should take on the role of anchoring the innings, Morne van Wyk, the team's wicket-keeper is also a leading batsman and is just 7 short of a 1000 runs in this form of the game, Ryan MCLaren is the team's leading all-rounder
Bowlers -
Ryan McLaren will have to shoulder more responsibility in the absence of Telemachus, van der Wath and Nicky Boje, Thandi Tshabalala is the team's leading wicket taker with the best strike rate and economy rate too of the lot.
