Liam Mudenda<\/strong> and Pranav Raichetti’s<\/strong> excellence with the willow in hand guided St Stithians<\/strong> to a very comfortable seven-wicket victory over Helpmekaar Kollege<\/strong> in their T20 clash on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The pair’s 41-run partnership was the key to their successful pursuit of the 130 they required for victory.<\/p>\n

Mudenda led the charge with an impressive 47 from 35 deliveries. The main feature of the formidable opener’s innings was his stroke-making, which led to him accumulating eight fours.<\/p>\n

Raichetti started off slowly but worked the ball all around the wicket in a mature knock of 36 not out.<\/p>\n

His aggressive running between the wickets was also a thorn in the side of the Helpies as the pressure on their fielding unit kept mounting. Raichetti then broke loose, sending the ball over the ropes for the maximum.<\/p>\n

For the Helpies, Juan Minnaar<\/strong> shone with both bat and ball. When he arrived at the crease, his side was struggling, but Minnaar kept his composure to contribute a sensible 26 not out, which came from 25 balls and included one six.<\/p>\n

Opening the bowling, he proved to be the dangerman for the Helpies and was the pick of their attack, capturing an impressive 2\/26 from his four overs.<\/p>\n

However, Henricus Meyer<\/strong> was the cornerstone of the Helpmekaar innings, giving it a boost with a wonderfully structured and unbeaten 50 from 40 deliveries. His contribution proved pivotal as he and Minnaar combined for a much-needed partnership of 74 in the latter stages of the innings, which helped their side to 129\/4 from their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Helpies, that effort from the pair wasn’t enough to make up for a stuttering start to their innings. Saints showed class and control to chase down the victory target in the 17th over with plenty of wickets in hand.<\/p>\n

Summarised scorecard:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helpmekaar Kollege 129\/4<\/strong> (Henricus Meyer 50*, Juan Minnaar 26*; Lhuan-dre Pretorius 1\/26); St Stithians 132\/3<\/strong> (Liam Mudenda 47, Pranav Raichetti 36; Juan Minnaar 2\/26). St Stithians won by seven wickets.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
