\"\"Queen’s High School<\/strong>‘s batsmen led the way as they secured a narrow 12-run victory over St Alban’s College<\/strong> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Sanele Tshabalala<\/strong> set a fine example, top scoring with a mature 59 from 80 deliveries.\u00a0Thereafter, Tshepiso Sinosi<\/strong> (58, 53b) and Mzwakhe Mkhwanazi<\/strong> (56, 46b) both notched up half-centuries to continue the good work with the willow.<\/p>\n

Further contributions from Pranay Tailor<\/strong> (38) and Katlego Sekopane<\/strong> (20, 42b) ensured a wonderful day for the Queens’ batsmen as they accumulated 294\/8 in their 50 overs, just shy of the 300-run milestone.<\/p>\n

Tim Garnett<\/strong> was the pick of the St Albans bowler’s, bagging figures of 3\/46 in 10 overs, while Liam Basch<\/strong> claimed 2\/53 in his spell.<\/p>\n

The St Alban’s reply looked almost dead and buried after a poor start to their innings. They stumbled to 49\/4, chasing a mammoth 295, and needed something spectacular to get themselves back into the contest. They got it!<\/p>\n

When Liam Basch<\/strong> was joined in the middle by Boago Motlhabedi<\/strong>, the pair set about repairing the damage and pulled their side right back into the fight. They combined for an astonishing 179-run partnership, which almost saw them pull off the unimaginable.<\/p>\n

Basch’s innings of 123 not out from 122 deliveries will most certainly live on to be one of the best played by a St Alban’s representative, while Motlhabedi contributed an impressive 83 of his own.<\/p>\n

However, a timely wicket from Katlego Sekopane<\/strong> (1\/56) saw St Alban’s fall agonisingly short of the massive victory target, stranded 13 runs from the win as they ran out of overs with the total on 282\/5.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jeppe High School for Boys<\/strong> came out on top in their clash against their old foes Helpmekaar Kollege<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After mustering only 145 all out, with Anthony Stone<\/strong> scoring 30 from 38 balls and Juan Minnaar<\/strong> weighing in with 23, the Helpie Bowlers knew it was up to them to win the match.<\/p>\n

They nearly did as Jeppe found themselves in a world of trouble after slumping to 35\/5, thanks to an impressive effort by Dihan Janse van Rensburg<\/strong> (3\/38).<\/p>\n

However, a 75-run partnership between Seth Fabry<\/strong> (45, 71b) and Tiago Almeida<\/strong> (42, 36b) resurrected the Jeppe innings and they eventually scraped home with three wickets to spare.<\/p>\n
