Eagles' decision to bowl first after winning the toss has proved to be the right one. No one could know how the pitch is going to behave better than the hom team.
Roger Telemachus made early inroads by dismissing Aaron Finch on the last delivery of the very first over. It was mostly because of Nicky Boje's incredible catch.
On the first delivery of the second over, Cliffe Deacon claimed the wicket of Michael Klinger as the Victorian Bushrangers slumped further to be at 3/2 in 1.1.
An incredible start to an important encounter as the Eagles dispatch both Bushrangers' openers within the first two overs. Can Victorian Bushrangers come back?

Adam Crosthwaite and Brad Hodge have rejuvenated Bushrangers' innings with solid, cautious knocks to take them from 25/4 after 5.0, to 66/4 after 10.0.
Scores or the scoring-rate they've been plodding along isn't exactly suited to twenty-twenty cricket, but given the pitch and their start, it is highly respectable.

This game is very much alive, and the momentum's on Bushrangers' side. Eagles will have to make a comeback if they want to restrict them to an achievable total.

134/7 is not a bad score on a pitch like this, but the Bushrangers will want to finish on a much more explosive note to give the Eagles somewhat of a challenge.

Overs: 20.0
A lackluster finish brings the Bushrangers' innings to a close, as they could only manage 13 runs in the last 2.0 overs for the loss of 2 wickets, finishing on 147/9.
Brad Hodge fittingly drove this score with a cautious, calculated knock. He scored 60 runs off 56 deliveries before being dismissed on the last ball of the innings.
Boeta Dippenaar latched onto an excellent catch to end the Bushrangers' innings. Regardless, the Bushrangers will be happy with what they've accomplished.
Statistically, Bushrangers have the best bowling of the tournament, and tho Eagles haven't exactly delivered with the bat, they are capable of chasing this down.

Bushrangers' top-order failed to deliver in the final but fortunately for them, Brad Hodge and Adam Crosthwaite came to their rescue with blistering knocks.
They revived their team with a 92-run 5th-wicket stand, during which, both achieved their fifties. If it weren't for them, this game would've been over already.
It was a spectacular display of bowling from the Eagles with only one bowler going wicketless. Telemachus, Deacon, Boje and McLaren bagged two scalps apiece.
Johan van der Wath went wicketless and conceded 25 runs in 3.0. All in all, Eagles will be really happy with their bowling effort apart from few middle overs.

Wicket in the first over! Mick Lewis makes inroads early as Loots Bosman is lbw after deciding to leave an unexpected in-swinger. He goes after scoring just 4.
Victorian Bushrangers have gotten off to a great start with the ball in defense of a fairly moderate score. Diamond Eagles have to recover from this very quickly.

There you have it folks! Victorian Bushrangers have bowled the Diamond Eagles out for a mere 96 in a run-chase of 148 to become the Champions of Champions.
This game was decided within the first 6.0 overs by Mick Lewis and Peter Siddle. Both bowlers picked-up three wickets apiece inside of those 6.0 overs.
Ryan McLaren and Nicky Boje did make an effort to save face, but it was ultimately foiled by Dirk Nannes. Cameron White wrapped-up the game soon after that.
Diamond Eagles folded under pressure and lost by a hefty margin of 51 runs. This was the 'Australians emerged triumphant as the South Africans choked' story.

Also @Na Maloom Afraad ... Just curious, what happened that Dippenaar didn't perform at all during the championsip?
Na Maloom Afraad
Man of Tomorrow
I don't know. I think I posted this before. I used the same database for each team from their respective season. I don't know how he can perform so bad in one season, and perform the complete opposite of it in the other. I do think the fact that your team played 5 out of your 7 games on a fast-bowler's wicket was what caused such a drastic change.
Did a little digging from the 2006 season which your team won and found this. Your team played three games at Melbourne (normal turf) and three at St. Kilda (fast-bowling turf).
Boeta Dippenaar scored 161 runs in those three games at Melbourne (with 96 being his best score, ever), whereas he had scores of 59 (off 55 - against Sinhalese of all teams), 29 (off 8 - admittedly better) and a 2-ball 0 (Sialkot Stallions) at St. Kilda.
EDIT: When you played the Bushrangers at MCG in this championship (CoC), Dippenaar wasn't in the team. You made a mistake because it was the same team and the same venue where he scored his aforementioned 96 in 2006. Maybe that could've restored your faith in him.
Other than that, the only explanation for his performance would be his rating (which was not so high given how he performed in the tournament that qualified them to CL). His 38 in 2 innings justified him doing well when the pitch had little for the bowlers, but not when it was swinging like crazy and the opposition teams were well-equipped with quality fast bowlers.

Never thought to check about the pitch type.
That is something, I’ll keep in mind from the next time. 
Anyways, @Na Maloom Afraad This was another one of your amazingly managed leagues. The matches were quick (except the final) and the presentation was spot on.

INAUGURAL EDITION
Clash of Champions is a quadrennial four-team league played between the Champions of Champions League Twenty20. It truly is the Clash of Champions in every sense.
Clash of Champions is not canon to the Champions League statistics or overall records. Clash of Champions is purely a sub-division of the Champions League Twenty20.
It is viewed by the organizers as a Super World Cup considering that Champions League is already a World Cup to domestic franchises/clubs around the cricketing world.
2007-08 EDITION / BACKGROUND
This edition took place after the conclusion of the 2007 Champions League which was held in Pakistan and before the 2008 Champions League that was played in Africa.
The four teams that took part in this event had qualified by winning the first-four editions of the Champions League which includes the first-ever edition from 2004.
Diamond Eagles qualified by winning the aforementioned season. In which, only three teams competed so the Eagles' route to victory was relatively straightforward.
Leicestershire Foxes accomplished the same feat the year after in a similar manner since that season also consisted of only three participants including themselves.
In 2006, the league saw its first expansion as the number of teams doubled from the previous year. Diamond Eagles won again, becoming the first team to do it twice.
Pakistan hosted the 2007 edition as the number of teams grew even more. Victorian Bushrangers emerged victorious after not losing a single game the entire season.

BRIEF SUMMARY / INAUGURAL CLASH OF CHAMPIONS
The inaugural edition of Clash of Champions took place in four venues across three countries with South Africa's two-time winners playing hosts in two different cities.
Each team played the other team twice, once at home and once away. All teams hosted their home games at their homeground in Australia, England and South Africa.
Diamond Eagles - Champions of Champions League 2004 and 2006 hosted games in Bloemfontein and Kimberley, with the latter also hosting the final of the league.
Victorian Bushrangers hosted their home games at the famed Melbourne Cricket Ground, whereas Leicestershire Foxes hosted their games at Grace Road in Leicester.
Champions of Champions League 2007 - Victorian Bushrangers emerged victorious by defeating 2006 Diamond Eagles in the final at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley.
2006 Diamond Eagles had played Victorian Bushrangers twice in the league games, and won on both occasions. Their loss to them in the final came as a shock to many.
Leicestershire Foxes and Diamond Eagles' 2004 squad failed to qualify for the final, finishing third and fourth respectively. 2004 Diamond Eagles won only two games.
Victorian Bushrangers and Leicestershire Foxes tied on points with exactly the same number of wins, but Victorian Bushrangers advanced by having a better net run rate.
A comprehensive 51-run victory in the final crowned Victorian Bushrangers the Champions of Champions. Adam Crosthwaite was the player of the final for his 33-ball 52.
Brad Hodge was the leading run-scorer as well as the Player of the Tournament with 289 runs from 7 innings. Roger Telemachus was the leading wicket-taker - 15 scalps.
