Positives

- Bears ke Bowlers ka Struggle: Bears ke bowlers, khaaskar unke spinners, Durham ke aggressive batsmen ko rokne mein nakaam rahe.
Durham ka Underdog Spirit
Birmingham Bears, apne star-studded line-up ke saath, is match mein bade team ke roop mein aaye the, lekin Durham ne apne ghar mein unhe hara kar dikhaya ki chhote team bhi bada dhamaka kar sakte hain. Jaise ki 2007 T20 World Cup mein India ne South Africa ko hara kar dikhaya tha, Durham ne bhi apne limited resources ke saath ek bade opponent ko hara kar apni capability saabit ki. Will Rhodes, jo pehle Bears ke captain the, ne apne purane club ke khilaaf jeet mein aham bhoomika nibhayi, jo ek emotional victory thi.
