Somerset College<\/strong> made a rip-roaring start to their T20 day by powering their way to a big 130-run win over Reddam House Constantia<\/strong> in their opening outing on Saturday in Somerset West.<\/p>\n

That big win was led by an aggressive knock from opening batsman, Callum Hughes<\/strong>, who bashed 10 fours and six sixes in his 119 from only 69 balls.<\/p>\n

David de Klerk<\/strong> also made a telling contribution, delivering a lightning quick and unbeaten 52 runs off just 19 deliveries, which included an astonishing six sixes and a four.<\/p>\n

A 105-run partnership between the pair decimated the Reddam House bowling and after 20 overs, Somerset College had posted a daunting 217\/2.<\/p>\n

The visitors never got going at the crease, and although they lost only five wickets, they were limited to just 87\/5 after their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Caden Spiller<\/strong>, with 41 from 49, was the only Reddam batsman who looked comfortable against the Somerset College attack.<\/p>\n

Finn Rankin<\/strong> snapped up 2\/8 in 2.2 overs for the hosts, but he had to have Owethu Moyi<\/strong> finish his third over after picking up an injury.<\/p>\n

In their next outing, Somerset College was swiftly brought back down to earth by HTS Drostdy<\/strong>, who ran through the home side’s batting with ease to score a strong 50-run victory.<\/p>\n

Drostdy<\/strong> mustered only 112\/8, batting first, which owed plenty to their opening batsman, DJ Luck<\/strong>, who made 48, striking three fours and three sixes. Meanwhile,\u00a0Troy Varie<\/strong> led the Somerset College attack, capturing an outstanding 4\/13 in his four overs.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Somerset College, their batting crumbled when faced with a moderate run chase. They were all out for only 62, with Janu Nel<\/strong> claiming 2\/1 in just one over.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Bellville<\/strong> also won convincingly against the hosts, cantering to a seven-wicket win after restricting Somerset College to only 89\/8. Callum Hughes was responsible for 30 of those runs at a run a ball.<\/p>\n

Krige van Jaarsveld<\/strong> inflicted huge damage on the Somerset West outfit’s batting effort, knocking over 4\/13. Then, opening batsman, Xander Lategan<\/strong>, matched Hughes’ 30, taking 34 balls to get there, to steer his side to victory.<\/p>\n
