4 Somerset 146 (Kieswetter 56 *, Botha 10-20) to win Warriors 134 8 (JJ Smuts 38, Thomas 2-16) 12 runs
Somerset captain Alfonso Thomas upset strangling two spells to ensure his warriors to fight side and advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League Twenty20. Loss Warriors "meant their net annualized fell below that Royal Challengers Bangalore, and they became the second South African team, the Cape Cobras, bowing out of the competition in two days.
Ironically, the performance of three South African-born players have contributed to the victory of Somerset. Thomas two for 16 years, Craig Kieswetter unbeaten 56 and Roelof van der Merwe all efforts of the Warriors closed the door.
Running with the ball and not coming to the bats, the warriors had to be careful not to fall too far from the required annual. They slipped in the intermediate steps, but only in 19 - with 23 home runs in 12 balls needed - the game out of reach. Thomas discomfort slower balls everywhere, and when he took Craig Thyssen bigwigs and Wayne Parnell in the same way, the task became too large for the Warriors.
That had begun positively, as Ashwell Prince and JJ Smuts scored 24 runs in the first three extensions. Prince was the drummer for the defeat for the first time by the lack of pace, but Smuts formed a strong alliance with Ingram. They fought through a lean patch, but struggling to find the border, particularly against young Thomas and Adam Dibble, who defeated a tight second spell after conceding 13 runs in his report to the first.
After the Warriors management to 79 in the 12th past, were nevertheless two Ingram and Smuts dismissed within five balls and the drummers new warriors could not follow. Johan Botha, batting at number five, tried to take Steve Kirby, but sliced a slower ball high and wide of Arul Suppiah in the deep, who have given birth. Three balls later, Botha did so and was caught at long-off.
Nicky Boje and Thyssen were scoring 46 runs 27 balls. Both tried a few shots, but Somerset bowlers did not give much away, could not win the plant. Margin of defeat was a massive 12 runs to the end.
The warriors had begun brilliant game, with the wicket of Pedro Trejo, who was caught behind the first time after more pressure created Lonwabo Tsotsobe with its short length delivery. It's good work has been completely canceled by Wayne Parnell in the second year. Parnell upset a poor line, admitted 13 races and container for the other entries.
Kieswetter took Parnell wayward leg-side line, but it was van der Merwe who sank his teeth into his countrymen, taking 16 seconds elapses Tsotsobe more. Somerset acceleration Botha asked to change the tempo, and introduces left-arm spinner Smuts, who throw the cards in his report to the first. Smuts van der Merwe to merge the two furnaces, but he succumbed to his instincts to attack, top edging a sweep to midwicket chore fell to 32 from 16 balls. Botha and Boje took control of seven to ten overs, giving away 18 points and a single border, where they tied Kieswetter and James Hildreth down.
Rusty Theron began her magic with a long ball that was hit for four through point, but recovered well, with further deliveries and slower, which could not be punished. Botha has also juggled his spinners to good effect, but four shots spoiled his efforts to pull over midwicket Kieswetter off Botha, Jos Buttler two six off Boje - the second of which was the second of the tournament - and Butler real smack on the screen Smuts out of view.
Tsotsobe Theron and had a bowl at the death and the variations used as knives and slower balls. Most shipments have been attacked, but nothing Kieswetter has not been punished. He hit three boundaries in the last four acquisitions, and was the reason for Somerset were able to score 36 runs between them.
