Jason Rowles<\/strong> and Armaan Manack<\/strong> struck classy centuries to lead St David\u2019s Marist Inanda<\/strong> to a nine-wicket win over St John\u2019s College<\/strong> in their 50-over encounter on La Valla Oval<\/strong> at St David’s on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The hosts, who won the toss and elected to bat first, were bowled out for a decent-looking 282 in 46 overs. Jeff Levin’s boys, however, needed six overs less to chase down that big total, cruising to 287\/1 in 40 overs.<\/p>\n

Rowles showed his class as he creamed 14 fours and two sixes on his way to a brilliant 118 off 105 deliveries. The opener was at the crease for 27.3 overs and forged a 185-run opening stand with Armaan Manack.<\/p>\n

The St John’s bowlers had no answers against the duo, and it took a moment of luck for them to break the openers’ partnership, with Rowles, after successfully negotiating a Lwazi Khuphe<\/strong> delivery, accidentally dislodging his bails.<\/p>\n

Following the SA u19 Emerging star’s departure, Armaan Manack took control of the innings and put on an unbroken 102-run second-wicket partnership with his captain, Samrat Basu<\/strong> (38*).<\/p>\n

It was during that partnership that Manack recorded his century, going on to finish with an unbeaten 114 off 101 balls. He put on a clinic, showing an ability to severely punish loose deliveries, as he carved 18 fours. It was also Manack’s second century of the week, following a knock of 167 off 108 balls against Northcliff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Armaan’s twin brother, Morteza Manack<\/strong>, starred with the ball, bagging four wickets for 42 runs in 10 overs. Morteza, fresh off a double-hundred in the 50-over format, removed three of the top six batsmen in the St John’s batting order, getting rid of Nkosana Sibiya<\/strong>, Malan du Plessis,<\/strong> and Darshik Lutchman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sibiya scored one of the two half-centuries for St John’s, contributing 51 runs off 57 deliveries. The other half-ton came from Connor van der Walt<\/strong>. The opener hit a 64-ball 60 to give his side a solid start. However, neither fifty was enough to withstand the St David’s onslaught.<\/p>\n

Ethan Greenstein<\/strong>, Kyle Butler<\/strong>, Hayden Campbell,<\/strong> and Jared Stern<\/strong> perfectly supported Morteza’s bowling. Both Greenstein and Butler picked up a pair of wickets, while Campbell and Stern took one wicket each.<\/p>\n

Summarised Scorecards
\n<\/strong>
\nSt John’s <\/strong>282\/10<\/strong> (Connor van der Walt 60, Nkosana Sibiya 51; Morteza Manack 4\/42, Kyle Butler 2\/25); St David’s <\/strong>287\/1<\/strong> (Jason Rowles 118, Armaan Manack 114*; Lwazi Khuphe 1\/28).<\/p>\n
