Squaring off with Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> in a crucial encounter in Pool A, St Stithians College<\/strong> needed a win and Richard Seletswane<\/strong> took care of business.<\/p>\n

Opening the batting, the SA u19 batsman wasted no time in putting the visitors from the Western Cape under enormous pressure.<\/p>\n

Facing only 67 deliveries, Seletswane smashed 13 sixes and 10 fours to make his way to 149 not out, the second-highest individual score of the tournament thus far.<\/p>\n

Chipping in with 31 and 26* respectively, Thomas Rew<\/strong> and Tasheen Hanslo<\/strong> supported Seletswane’s special knock to have the scoreboard singing their praises at 237\/3 at the end of 20 overs.<\/p>\n

The fun was not over, however. Rondebosch’s Daniel Bosman<\/strong> answered with a scintillating innings of 71 from 35 balls, while Joshua Neill<\/strong> smashed a 24-ball 46 to push Saints all the way. The difference between the two sides proved to be the bowling of Nqaba Matunda, who snapped up 4\/39, and Zakier Hanslo, who took 2\/35, which helped restrict Rondebosch to 214\/9.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong>‘s opening pair, Steve Stolk<\/strong> and Willem Sevenster,<\/strong> lifted them to another mammoth total and ultimately a 28-run victory over Grey High School<\/strong>. Stolk, as he did in the morning, did not hang around, striking eight sixes in his 89 from just 40 balls.<\/p>\n

Sevenster was right on his heels, smashing 12 boundaries in a quickfire 80, which was another key contribution, as the Parkies tallied 244\/5 in their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Facing a huge victory target, Grey High’s Tristan Grundling<\/strong> followed the same attacking blueprint, a method that seemed to suit him well.\u00a0He smashed the ball to all parts of the CBC Old Boys Oval<\/strong> in a 50-ball 95, coming up just short of what would’ve been a magnificent century.<\/p>\n

Anfred Jansen<\/strong> gave the side from Qheberha a glimmer of hope with his 67, but a mini-collapse in the middle order, brought on by two wickets from Ewald Meyer, proved costly.<\/p>\n

Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> handed Ho\u00ebrskool Centurion<\/strong> their first defeat of the tournament soaring past the 168 they required for victory with six wickets in hand to maintain their winning streak.<\/p>\n

Captain Nicandro Kistna<\/strong> was the main contributor with the ball, snapping up 3\/27, while Max Robertson<\/strong> led the run chase with an expertly constructed 72 from 47 balls. A rapid 41 from Sean McGough ensured there would be no stopping the side from KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

The in-form Paul James<\/strong> smashed the ball every which way on the Camp Discovery Oval as Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> convincingly beat the struggling Potchefstroom Volkskool<\/strong> by six wickets. He needed just 27 balls to get to his 59 runs. James combined nicely with his opening partner Storme van Rooyen<\/strong> (44) to break the backbone of the chase with a 77-run opening stand.<\/p>\n

A further 24 runs from Beni Hansen<\/strong> sealed the deal as the Capetonians, batting at a rate of 9.7 runs per over, overhauled the required target of 148 in the 16th over.<\/p>\n

Their victory was set up by a pivotal spell of 2\/11 from opening bowler, Michail Tarentaal<\/strong>, who, with his extra bounce and movement off the deck, had the Volkies’ batsmen jumping all over.<\/p>\n
