I feel like of this strong team in the first 2 rounds Roger has been the pick for being the weakest thus far so therefore Mandla Mashimbyi makes way to replace him, hopefully he does wonders with the ball.

Victorian Bushrangers march to a competitive total on a bowler-friendly turf, courtesy of Michael Klinger and Brad Hodge's 50 off 44 and 47 off 36, respectively.
Klinger and Hodge's innings and subsequent partnership carried the Bushrangers to a respectable total on a pitch that had very little on offer for the batsmen.
Diamond Eagles pace-trio of Ryan McLaren, Dillon du Preez and Roger Telemachus were good with the ball but their team would've expected a lot more from them.
Neither of those three bowlers conceded runs at an economy rate higher than 7.50, and they shared 4 major wickets between themselves for 73 runs in 11 overs.
Nicky Boje, Eagles' captain dismissed Hodge to put a halt to his brutality, just three runs before his fifty. Aaron Finch also helped lay the groundwork for the total.
Diamond Eagles' will be dissatisfied with their bowling antics on a pitch like this whereas the Bushrangers' batsmen will consider achieving this score a victory.

3.2 Andrew McDonald to Loots Bosman, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (3)
3.3 Andrew McDonald to Boeta Dippenaar, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion... (4)

Much needed victory for the Diamond Eagles. They chase down a 141-run total on a bowling-wicket with finesse and delicacy to register only their second victory.
Loots Bosman's fiery knock at the top in the midst of a mini-collapse set the tone of the innings. His 19-ball 32 got the Eagles off to a flyer for the run-chase.
Jacques Rudolph's anchoring knock and Ben Hector's assist afterwards Loots Bosman's blitzkrieg ensured the victory for Diamond Eagles as they won by 4 wickets.
Mick Lewis regained form but his efforts were in vain as Andrew McDonald and David Hussey's overs undid most of the good that came from his figures of 3/21.
The decision to give David Hussey is quite a baffling one given the fact that the Bushrangers already have enough bowlers to bowl through the entire 20.0 overs.
Boeta Dippenaar - the mainstay of the Eagles fails to deliver once again after falling for a 5-ball 7 to Andrew McDonald, being the '1' in his 1/31 (from 2.1 overs).

Boeta Dippenaar starred for the Diamond Eagles with a blistering knock of 72 runs from 54 deliveries, being one of only two batsmen to score in double-figures.
Davy Jacobs also chipped in with an invaluable 43 from 39 balls, establishing a crucial partnership with Dippenaar to take the Eagles to a commendable total.
Dippenaar and Jacobs were the only batsmen in the Eagles lineup that achieved double-figures as the Leicestershire Foxes had a perfectly balanced bowling card.
David Masters was the clear pick of the bowlers with three scalps to his name, which consisted of the coveted wicket of Boeta Dippenaar and both the openers.
All in all, the Foxes bowlers were on top for the most part in spite of Dippenaar's madness on a bowling turf. Dippenaar's innings saved the Eagles from total mess.
141-run target is a good enough target for any team on a turf like this, but can the Foxes prove the rule of "home advantage" to be true this season furthermore?

A comfortable victory for Leicestershire Foxes, courtesy of brilliant fifties from Darren Stevens and Brad Hodge. The Foxes register their first win of the season.
Diamond Eagles failed to pick up regular wickets after the early scare and as a result, lost by a hefty margin. 141 runs proved to be insufficient even on this pitch.
Mandla Mashimbyi was included in the eleven for this game in place of Roger Telemachus, and ended up being the difference maker for all of the wrong reasons.
In his first 3.0 overs, he went for 26 runs. In his last over though, he was taken to the cleaners by the well-set Hodge and Stevens as they squeezed him for 19 runs.
Thandi Tshabalala was also quite expensive in his 1.4 overs even though he dismissed Stevens after his fifty. The spinner conceded 17 runs on this green wicket.
Hodge and Stevens' fifties gave the Foxes their first, and much needed win. Not only did this win bring three points for them, it also boosted up their net-run-rate.
