Jared Stern<\/strong> was sensational with the ball, setting up St David\u2019s Marist Inanda<\/strong> for a seven-wicket win over King Edward VII School (KES<\/strong>), in their Schools SA20<\/strong> regional quarterfinal tie at Wits University’<\/strong>s B field on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Stern bagged a miserly four wickets for nine runs in four overs to help his side restrict KES to 142\/9 in their 20 overs. St David’s replied with 144\/4 in 19 overs.<\/p>\n

Stern’s outstanding four-over spell crippled KES. Samarat Basu<\/strong>, the St David\u2019s captain, threw the ball to Stern in the seventh over and the medium pacer immediately impacted the match.<\/p>\n

Like Kyle Butler<\/strong>, who was introduced in the fifth over and took a wicket, Stern delivered the wicket of Troy Gordon<\/strong> with his first ball. In that first over, he conceded only one run.<\/p>\n

The pressure he exerted in that over helped Rowles bag a wicket in the next one. Stern followed that with another tidy over, which, although wicketless, cost only a single again. His third over delivered a dagger to the hopes of KES as he dismissed Reece Small<\/strong> and the dangerous Wade McQuinn<\/strong> with back-to-back deliveries. He closed off his sensational spell with a wicket for two runs in his fourth over.<\/p>\n

Eric Southey<\/strong> was the only bright spark in the KES innings. Batting at number eight, he top-scored with an unbeaten 36 off 28 deliveries to drag KES to 142.<\/p>\n

St David’s stumbled early on in their chase, losing Jason Rowles in the fourth over of their innings. However, all was not lost as Armaan Manack<\/strong> (42) consolidated with a 54-run second-wicket partnership with Kamogelo Phiri<\/strong>. The pair was, however, dismissed within 10 deliveries of one other.<\/p>\n

The burden to see St David’s to victory fell on the shoulders of Armaan\u2019s twin brother, Morteza Manack<\/strong>, who played a measured innings to shepherd his team across the finishing line. He, also, shared an unbroken 52-run fifth-wicket partnership with Hayden Campbell, <\/strong>which secured a semi-final spot for St David\u2019s. At the end of the innings, Manack was unbeaten on 34 off 29 balls, while Campbell was not out on 22 off 16.<\/p>\n

Christian Sabela<\/strong> was the pick of the KES bowlers for KES, claiming two wickets for 27 runs in four overs. Connor Kuijers<\/strong> picked up one wicket and went for 34 runs from his four overs.<\/p>\n

Summarised Scorecards<\/strong><\/p>\n

KES <\/strong>142\/9<\/strong> (Eric Southey 36*, Troy Gordon 15; Jared Stern 4\/9, Morteza Manack 2\/22); St David’s <\/strong>144\/4<\/strong> (Armaan Manack 42, Morteza Manack 34*; Christian Sabela 2\/27, Connor Kuijers 1\/34).<\/p>\n
