Western Province<\/strong> yet again indicated that they might be the team to beat at this year’s CSA U16 Girls Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Miya Lalor<\/strong> followed up on her impressive performance on Day 1 with an even better show, achieving her first five-for of the week. Together with Nakeeta Collins,<\/strong> they guided the side from Cape to a comfortable 78-run victory over the Titans.<\/p>\n

Batting first, Collins set things up with a neat innings of 47 runs, falling just three short of what would have been a well-deserved half-century. Her enthusiasm rubbed off on Erin Schroonby, who joined in on the action with a valuable 37 runs to establish a first-innings total of 161 for WP.<\/p>\n

Although facing a potent batting lineup, the Gauteng side’s Boipelo Kubeka<\/strong> put in an industrious shift with the ball, taking 3\/20. Kaylee Carr<\/strong> provided ample support with her return of 2\/18.<\/p>\n

Lalor, however, seemed unplayable as she ran through the Titans’ top order, only conceding 12 runs for her five wickets. Zaurha Titus backed up Lalor with a return of 2\/10, as the pair ensured that the Titans could only reach 88 all out, thus securing another comprehensive victory.<\/p>\n

The Limpopo Impalas<\/strong> showed that they, too, could be a thorn in the side for future opponents. It was especially in the bowling department where the side from up north shone, disposing of old foes, Mpumalanga<\/strong>, for a mere 42 to claim victory by 75 runs.<\/p>\n

Defending 117, due to an unbeaten 19 from Mahlako Mamabolo<\/strong>, as well as some assistance from the Mpumalanga bowlers, Murisi Rikhotso<\/strong> caused considerable damage with the new nut. Conceding only three runs, Rikhotso snapped up three wickets in no time. Refilwe Mashego<\/strong> did the rest, with her contribution of 2\/11, which left Mpumalanga with no comeback.<\/p>\n

Boland nearly slipped up following another remarkable performance by their opening bowlers. As was the case on Day 1, the opening pair of Melissa van der Merwe<\/strong> and Janel Steenkamp<\/strong> did the job for their side, with Van der Merwe stealing the spotlight on this occasion with an astonishing return of 7\/18 in her six overs, while Steenkamp provided the necessary support with 2\/12 in 4.1 overs.<\/p>\n

Requiring only 49 for victory, the side from the Boland, however, stumbled early on after Tishe Frans<\/strong> had bagged three quick wickets, but the lower order kept their composure to guide them across the line with four wickets to spare.<\/p>\n

Kei<\/strong> bagged their first win of the week, getting Eastern Cape Linyathi<\/strong> all out for a meagre 37 thanks to a near-perfect bowling performance by Kwenele Kratshi<\/strong>. Realising that she had only 61 runs to play with, Kratshi snapped up six wickets while conceding a mere eight runs, thereby steering her side to a memorable 26-run victory.<\/p>\n
