\"\"Morteza Manack<\/strong> smashed his way into the record books as he led St David\u2019s Marist<\/strong> Inanda to an incredible 222-run victory over Northcliff <\/strong>when the two sides met on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Manack was in imperious form, carving 32 fours and eight sixes in his school record-setting 226 off 128 deliveries.<\/p>\n

The middle-order batsman’s tally of fours was just one less than the number scored by the entire Northcliff batting line-up. With his inspired knock leading the way, St David\u2019s posted a massive 505\/4, their highest total yet in limited-overs cricket.<\/p>\n

His 226 also eclipsed the previous individual best set by Armaan Manack<\/strong>, his twin brother, who scored a fluent 174 against St Alban’s in February.<\/p>\n

Northcliff had little chance of chasing down that total, and even though they mustered 283\/8 in their 50 overs, they were still well over 200 runs short of the St David’s total.<\/p>\n

Manack joined his twin brother, Armaan, in the 10th over after two batsmen had departed in two balls. St David’s needed a partnership that would consolidate their innings and set them up for a big finish in their final 10 overs. The Manack twins achieved far more than that.<\/p>\n

The pair shared an incredible 309-run third-wicket stand, the highest St David’s partnership ever in limited-overs cricket. The brothers spent only 29.5 overs together, but they were brutal and relentless on the Northcliff bowlers and fielders, who were made to chase leather.<\/p>\n

Their outstanding partnership ended when Armaan was dismissed after scoring a brilliant 167 from 108 deliveries. His knock, which featured 24 fours and two sixes, highlighted why he was the previous record holder for the highest individual score by a St David’s batsman.<\/p>\n

Morteza Manack batted until the 49th over, by which time he had also shared a 100-run fourth-wicket partnership with Kamogelo Phiri<\/strong> (41*), which left St David’s on 489.<\/p>\n

Only Oliver Vermaak<\/strong>, among the Northcliff bowlers, returned a respectable economy rate of 6.75 from eight overs. The rest of the bowlers went for over eight runs an over, with Reaal Harriam<\/strong>, who picked up a five-for for the Lions Invitational side against high-flying Waterkloof<\/strong> in the Fasken Time Cricket Festival<\/strong>, suffering the most and conceding 13.33 runs an over.<\/p>\n

Alexander West<\/strong>‘s century, 102 runs from 90 balls, with 12 fours and a six, good innings that it was, wasn’t enough to help Northcliff mount a challenge to St David\u2019s sensational outing with the bat.<\/p>\n

The game was already out of Northcliff\u2019s reach when West arrived at the crease in the 14th over. They had lost three wickets to good bowling from Hayden Campbell<\/strong> and Christopher Emslie<\/strong>\u00a0and had only 47 runs on the board.<\/p>\n

Besides West, Cade Bradley<\/strong> was the other bright spark in Northcliff’s vain run chase. He struck a commendable unbeaten 80 off 66 deliveries and shared a 149-run sixth-wicket partnership with West, the highest of Northcliff\u2019s innings.<\/p>\n

Hayden Campbell was the pick of the bowlers for St David\u2019s with two wickets for 20 runs in five overs. Christopher Emslie and Shaiyen Desai<\/strong> also bagged a brace each. Jason Rowles<\/strong> chipped in with a single wicket.<\/p>\n

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

St David’s Marist <\/strong>505\/4<\/strong> (Morteza Manack 226, Armaan Manack 167; Alexander West 2\/67, Jack Woolard 1\/42); Northcliff <\/strong>\u00a0283\/8<\/strong> (Alexander West 102, Cade Bailey 80; Hayden Campbell 2\/20, Christopher Emslie 2\/26).\u00a0St David’s Marist won by 222 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
