\"\"Ho\u00ebrskool Garsfontein<\/strong>‘s First XI, more affectionately known as the “Ysbere”, was too good on home soil for St Alban’s College<\/strong> in their first outing of the Schools SA20<\/strong>\u00a0Titans League.<\/p>\n

After the visitors had won the toss and elected to bowl, a collective batting effort from the home side saw the Ysbere reach a very competitive total of 189\/7 in the allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Wikus du Preez<\/strong> led the onslaught with the willow. Smashing four sixes and two fours, Du Preez raced to 47 from only 30 balls, falling three runs short of what would’ve been a well-deserved half-century.<\/p>\n

His innings was made possible thanks to Charl van Staden<\/strong> who laid the platform at the top of the order. Van Staden, too, batted at a brisk pace making his way to 39 from only 27 deliveries, while Zizwe Khumalo<\/strong> lent a helpful hand with his aggressive 35 towards the back end of the innings, sending five of his 20 balls to the boundary.<\/p>\n

The St Alban’s opening pair of stalwart Liam Basch<\/strong> and Christian Visagie<\/strong> were exceptional. Bowling on a batter-friendly wicket, the pair grafted hard to claim two wickets each, at critical moments.<\/p>\n

Basch then went on to put up a valiant fight with the bat. Striking at 177, the St Alban’s all-rounder only required 30 deliveries for his 53, scoring most of his runs through four sixes. Kyle Block<\/strong> provided able support with 29, while Visagie, too, added to his fine bowling performance with a contribution of 25 runs.<\/p>\n

Garsies’ Jared Carr<\/strong>, however, had other plans. Claiming all three the St Alban’s top scorers, Carr bagged impressive figures of 3\/31 in his allotted four overs. This stemmed the flow of runs significantly, restricting the visitors to 162\/6 in their 20, to secure a relatively comfortable 27-run victory.<\/p>\n

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

Garsfontein 189\/7<\/strong> (Wikus du Preez 47, Charl van Staden 39, Zizwe Khumalo 35; Liam Basch 2\/34, Christian Visagie 2\/37); St Alban’s College 162\/6<\/strong> (Liam Basch 53, Kyle Block 29, Christiaan Visagie 25, Josh Melville 24; Jarred Carr 3\/31).
