For the visitors from Harare, Takudzwa Mangena<\/strong>, with a mature 55 runs from 108 deliveries, stood out.<\/p>\n

Another strong batting performance by Lhuan-dre Pretorius<\/strong> (59) helped Cornwall Hill College<\/strong> secure a hard-fought 24-run victory over St John’s College (Harare)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pretorius and Tsepo Molete contributed 59 runs each, while the impressive Lethabo Phahlomohlaka<\/strong> maintained his run of fine form with 55 runs from 74 balls.<\/p>\n

For the visitors, Kian Bligaut<\/strong> stood out with both bat and ball, capturing 3\/49 and scoring 42 runs. Takudzwa Nduku<\/strong><\/a>, who missed out on a century by only one run the previous day, led the St John’s batting effort, scoring an impressive 58 runs from 92 balls.<\/p>\n
