\"Affies,
Affies, SA Schools and SA u19 Emerging batsman, Jorich van Schalkwyk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ben Hockly<\/strong> and Jorich van Schalkwyk<\/strong> both scored unbeaten half-centuries to shepherd South Africa u19 Emerging<\/strong> to a one-sided 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe u19 Emerging<\/strong> in their 50-over match at Queen’s Sports Club,<\/strong> Bulawayo, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

With Wednesday’s victory, their third from three matches in the five-match series, South Africa secured a series win by taking an unbeatable 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The tourists, who were asked to bowl first, blew away the Zimbabwe batting lineup, dismissing them for 180 in 48.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Muhammed Bulbulia <\/strong>and his team needed less than half the time the Zimbabweans used up to chase down that total. They romped to 183 without loss in only 22.3 overs.<\/p>\n

In their first two games, South Africa had Bulbulia and Adnaan Lagadien<\/strong> opening the batting. On Wednesday, they changed personnel and went with Hockly and Van Schalkwyk. What did not change was the top-order dominance that has become a feature of the series.<\/p>\n

Hockly smashed 10 fours and two sixes on his way to an unbeaten 84 off 72 deliveries, while Van Schalkwyk stroked 10 fours and a six for his unbeaten 79 off 64 balls.<\/p>\n

Throughout their big unbroken opening stand, they never looked in trouble and neither offered a chance. At the same time, their run rate was always over 100, with Hockly reaching his half-century in 41 balls, and Van Schalkwyk bringing his up off of 47.<\/p>\n

The assured work of the batsmen was the cherry on the top following an outstanding bowling performance by the South African attack. Zimbabwe began well, getting off to a fast start, with the first wicket producing 25 runs from only 24 balls. Opener Nathaniel Hlabangana <\/strong>top-scored with 54, while his partner Leeroy Chiwaula<\/strong> was the first man to fall, out for eight.<\/p>\n

After that rollicking start, the hosts retreated into their shell and accumulated 63 runs off 106 deliveries as they attempted to steady their ship through Hlabangana and Kupakwashe Muradzi<\/strong>, who contributed 25.<\/p>\n

Jason Rowles<\/strong> broke their partnership in the 22nd over, which led to a downhill slide for the Zimbabweans. Their batsmen struggled to contend with South Africa’s bowlers. Only three of them – Hlabangana, Muradzi, and Tatenda Banda<\/strong> (25) – made it beyond the teens. Two others, Brandon Senzere<\/strong> (11) and Ryan Moyo<\/strong> (11), reached double figures, while the rest were restricted to single-digit scores.<\/p>\n

Paul James<\/strong> was the pick of the bowlers, knocking over three for nine in 5.5 overs. Ntando Soni<\/strong> also bagged three scalps from 10 overs, which cost him 34 runs.<\/p>\n

Rowles, who took the prized wickets of Hlabangana and Muradzi, finished with two wickets for 24 runs in eight overs, while Bayanda Majola<\/strong> took a single wicket for 36 runs in 10.<\/p>\n
