\"\"Esa Gangat<\/strong> continued his outstanding run of form to lead Pearson<\/strong> to a 51-run victory over Grey College<\/strong> on the third day of the 2024 Sunrisers Grey Cricket Festival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Saturday’s showdown, the charismatic captain missed the half-century mark by a single run, but that effort gave Pearson a solid platform.<\/p>\n

Lamla Mgedezi<\/strong> stood out for Grey in the field, playing a hand in four dismissals, with figures of 3\/39 and a catch, as Pearson’s middle order faltered. However, Brayden Andrews<\/strong> steadied the ship for the locals with an unbeaten 37 runs to help them to 193 all out.<\/p>\n

Cullen Marais<\/strong> posed a real threat for Grey, anchoring their innings with 43 runs in a 108-ball stay before he was run out by Gangat.<\/p>\n

Cayden Wilson<\/strong> then tore through the lower order of the Bloemfontein boys, who finished 51 runs shy of their victory target.<\/p>\n

Ryan Harcourt-Baldwin<\/strong> (57) and co steered Jeppe<\/strong> to 229 before Framesby<\/strong> secured the final wicket in their clash. The Framesby attack was led by Logan Fleetwood<\/strong>, who claimed 4\/30.<\/p>\n

The locals put up a spirited fight after their top order misfired and they fell to 22\/4. Hanro van Jaarsveld<\/strong> muscled 66 runs for his team to help them to within 27 runs of victory, but it wasn’t quite enough, and the visitors clinched the win.<\/p>\n

Grey High School<\/strong> outplayed their challengers from Glenwood<\/strong> to register another win, with Xander Elkington<\/strong> continuing his batting dominance, scoring 51 not out, to see his side to victory.<\/p>\n

Nathan Howell<\/strong>, Ben Ristow<\/strong> and Tristan Grundling<\/strong> each captured three wickets as they picked off the Durban side’s line-up for 140. Krian Jugoo<\/strong> (74), however, offered stubborn resistance to the trio’s onslaught and tallied more than half of his team’s total before Ristow finally removed him with the help of Joel Maree<\/strong>‘s safe hands.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s School<\/strong> stormed to a convincing triumph over the Namibia Invitational<\/strong> team to bounce back after a defeat on Friday.<\/p>\n

Reuben van Aarde<\/strong> (69) and Leon Athanasiou<\/strong> (53) did the majority of the legwork for the team from Bloemfontein as they posted 232.<\/p>\n

In reply, Tiaan van der Merwe<\/strong> led the Namibians’ charge with an innings of 53, but outstanding bowling by Cullen Kakora<\/strong> (5\/23) and FG Botha<\/strong> (2\/3) meant there was no chance of a comeback.<\/p>\n
