The rules of the Super Over:
Each team nominates three batsmen and one bowler;
If they lose two wickets the innings (of six balls) is considered over;
If it's another tie, the team with most number of sixes in the Eliminator wins;
If that's also equal, it's the team with the most sixes in the match that wins (Sussex has three sixes, Eagles have two).
Super Over:
Eagles batted first with Rossouw and Ryan McLaren. Yasir Arafat, who bowled the 20th over had the ball in hand.
Rossuouw and McLaren scored a single each in the first two balls. Third ball was a dot ball. Rossouw hit a six over long on. Yasir bowled a little wide on the off and got a dot ball. Last ball was a single and Eagles ended with 9 runs.
de Villiers struck with the first two balls and finished the match in favor of Eagles. He had Dwayne Smith clean bowled uprooting his off stump. With just one more wicket in hand, 5 balls, 10 runs needed. Hamilton-Brown was also dismissed the same way--looked like a replay. Eagles qualified for the super 8 by 9 runs.
Scores Tied
Chasing 120, Rossouw took Eagles closer to the target. He scored a wonderful 65 which gave hopes to Eagles. His innings had 7 fours and 2 sixes in 62 balls.
Rossouw and Ryan McLaren gave a good start with a 72-run partnership for the first wicket in 11.1 overs. Ryan scored just 16 of those while Rossouw touched his 50 (in 39 balls).
Eagles needed 46 in 8 overs with 9 wickets in hand. The collapse started after Wyk was caught by Joyce off Chawla for 2. 39 needed off 6 overs with 8 wickets in hand.
Two overs needed 17. Hamilton-Brown bowled a good tight over which went for 5 runs. The key turning point was the crucial wicket of Rossouw, caught behind.
Last over needed 12 runs, Yasir Arafat had the ball. The first 3 balls went for single. McLaren hit a four through an inner edge which went to a four in fine leg. Nobody can set a field set for the french cut.
Last two balls required 5 runs. Arafat bowled a brilliant yorker on the wide off stump which went to keeper.
One ball, 5 runs, Ryan McLaren was again on strike. The delivery pitched on length was clubbed to the wide-long on boundary. Though for a moment everyone thought that it was a six, it was actually a boundary which forced a tie.
Sussex Innings
Deciding to bat first, Sussex did not utilize the batting conditions. No batsmen could make merry as the highest score was 25 by number 7 batsmen J Gatting. C de Villiers and du Preez picked 2 wickets each. The bowlers maintained it tight and did not allow the batsmen to improvise the scoring rate.
Super 8 Qualification
With this win, Eagles qualified for the super 8. New South Wales already qualifed by winning both their matches convincingly.
