\"NewsGGreyNoordSuid\"Westville Boys\u2019 High\u2019s opening batsman Jared Oosthuizen<\/strong> (102) was the star of the opening day of the second annual Noord-Suid T20-competition in Pretoria as his century helped his school to a walloping nine-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Oosthuizen smashed his century from only 47 deliviers dispatching 17 past the boundary rope. Four of these boundaries at Villagers were maximums.<\/p>\n

Oosthuizen shared a 150-run opening partnership with Daniel Trevathan<\/strong> (87) to set up the convincing nine-wicket victory. Trevathan lost his wicket after being caught and bowled by Lohard Janse van Rensburg<\/strong> (1\/35).<\/p>\n

Centurion proved they won\u2019t just be rolling over as they defeated Rondebosch Boys\u2019 High by 21 runs in their opening match.<\/p>\n

Captain and opening batsman, Ryan Salomon<\/strong> (41), top-scored as his team reached a modest 146\/9 in their allotted overs. Rondebosch\u2019s Guy Sheena caused most of the damage with an impressive 4\/12 return in his four overs.<\/p>\n

Rondebosch\u2019s captain, Lehan Botha<\/strong> (65), and Keegan Mountjoy<\/strong> (40) shared a 107-run partnership over the second wicket and it seemed as if the team from Cape Town would cruise home.<\/p>\n

Nathan Wentzel<\/strong> trapped Botha leg before and was spearheading the comeback for Centurion as he grabbed three wickets for a mere 14 runs in three overs. Conrad Mouton (4\/20) also caused problems for Rondebosch Boys\u2019 High\u2019s middle order batsmen.<\/p>\n

Grey College of Bloemfontein will also be contenders this year after opening their account with a 43-run victory over a tricky Ho\u00ebrskool Rustenburg side.<\/p>\n

Grey reached a massive 227\/7 in their 20 overs thanks to half-centuries by Marco de Kock<\/strong> (68) and Willie Pretorius<\/strong> (62*). De Kock and Juandr\u00e9 Kellerman<\/strong> (31) laid the foundation with an 85-run opening partnership.<\/p>\n

Pretorius was devastating with the bat as he faced only 26 deliveries in his unbeaten knock. He smashed seven sixes as Rustenburg\u2019s bowlers had no answer to send him packing.<\/p>\n

Rustenburg\u2019s dangerman and opening batsman Estiaan Schonfeldt<\/strong> got his team of to a great start hitting 66 runs from only 31 deliveries. He struck seven fours and five sixes in his innings.<\/p>\n

SACS managed to beat Cornwall Hill College by 24 runs thanks to an opening partnership of 125 runs by Daniel Smith<\/strong> (70) and Kai Curren<\/strong> (58).<\/p>\n

Kieran Rust<\/strong> (64) also managed to record a half-century for Cornwall Hill College.<\/p>\n
