Oos-Moot<\/strong> managed to clinch a nail bitter on home soil against long-time rivals Ho\u00ebrskool Wonderboom<\/strong> in their round-robin encounter of the Titans league on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Wonderboom won the toss and decided they would like to bat first. The visitors got off to a troublesome start, losing two early wickets in quick succession.<\/p>\n

Carlo Schmal<\/strong> brought some calm to the storm as he steadied the ship with a top-class half-century, scoring 59 of only 44 deliveries at an impressive strike rate of 134.<\/p>\n

He was later joined by Divan Schmal<\/strong>, who joined the party with a half-century of his own scoring at a similar rate with his 57 coming from just 49 balls.<\/p>\n

For the Osies, it was Stian Oosthuizen<\/strong> who proved vital with the ball as the opening bowler walked away with impressive figures of 3\/27 in 6.1 overs. Oosthuizen was well supported by his counterparts in the form of Divan Potgieter<\/strong> (2\/15) and Jayden Smith<\/strong> (2\/69) as the trio’s efforts restricted the visitors to 217 all out.<\/p>\n

Oos-Moot too got off to a subdued start with the Wonderboom bowlers making some early inroads before Stephan Pretorius<\/strong> got the Osie chase back on track with a well-played 47 from 43 deliveries before he had to head back to the pavilion.<\/p>\n

With Pretorius’s departure, the Wonderboom attack found a second breath to have the home side on the ropes at 170 for 9 thanks to a remarkable bowling display from Eduan Kritzinger<\/strong> who bagged five scalps for just 21 runs.<\/p>\n

Although, Stian Oosthuizen<\/strong> had other ideas. Oosthuizen followed up his strong bowling display with a fantastic, math-winning knock of 51 from 66 balls to secure a nail-biting win of one wicket for the home side as they got over the line with 219\/9.<\/p>\n

Summarised Scorecards:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wonderboom 217\/10<\/strong> (Carlo Schmal 59, Divan Schmal 57; Stian Oosthuizen 3\/27, Divan Potgieter 2\/15, Jayden Smith 2\/69); Oos-Moot 219\/9<\/strong> (Stian Oosthuizen 51*, Stephan Pretorius 47, Jaen de Bruyn 22; Eduan Kritzinger 5\/21, Tyron Janse van Noordwyk 3\/52).
