Decent bowling complemented by disciplined batting scripted Diamond Eagles' five-wicket victory over Somerset, who kissed their semifinal hopes goodbye after losing the League B encounter of the Champions League here on Friday.
The Eagles bowlers, especially Cornelius de Villiers (4/17) did a brilliant job -- allowing just one significant partnership in the Somerset innings -- restricting the English outfit to a modest 132 for eight wickets.
The same discipline was the hall-mark of their chase as Morne van Wyk (47) and Ryan Bailey (29) guided them near the victory mark and their teammates completed the rest with 1.2 overs to spare.
