CL 09, M14: League A: Eag v. Som: deVilliers Storms Somerset!

deVilliers picked 4 wickets for Eagles and set the platform for their victory. Deciding to bat first, Somerset did not had a good start. deVilliers picked the first 3 wickets and put Somerset on the back foot. Kieswetter was trapped leg before for 8 and so Suppiah for first ball duck, and de Bruyn for 2. Durston came to the rescue with his wonderful 57 off 32 balls which had 10 fours. It really helped his team to put a fighting 132 on the board.

Durston's innings went in vain as Somerset bowlers were not able to restrict Eagles batsmen within 133. Opener van Wyk made 47 and Bailey made 29 which helped the team to ease through the chase.
