They only lost one out of their eight matches in the competition and went on to clinch the title. It's by virtue of winning the Standard Bank Pro20 that the Warriors enter the 2010 edition of Airtel Champions League Twenty20.
With their international players not always available, it was left to the likes of Colin Ingram and Davey Jacobs to shoulder the run-scoring responsibility, and they did that in style; Ingram aggregated 283 runs while Jacobs scored 162 runs in eight matches.
On the bowling front, the Warriors have a very mean attack - Ntini, Botha and Boje have all successfully proven their skills at the international level. They also have Juan Theron, a bowler who relishes bowling at the death and is capable of guiding his team to nail-biting victories.
The Warriors have all the ingredients - players with skill, class, experience, temperament and ability to perform on the big stage. This September, the home boys will be looking to make a big impact.
