\"CricketOn Thursday, Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> extended their unbeaten run for the 2025\/26 season to four games, thanks to a phenomenal performance in a 30-over match against Trinity Grammar<\/strong>, a private boys’ school from Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n

The visitors won the toss and sent the hosts in to bat. Last weekend,\u00a0in their 59-run victory over<\/a> Bishops<\/a><\/strong>, Gimmies<\/strong><\/em> relied on their tail enders to rescue their innings. This time out, though, their top and middle order delivered.<\/p>\n

Up front, Gim made steady progress, with Matt Dippenaar<\/strong> scoring 37 runs off 40 balls, Dirk Hugo<\/strong> adding 24 off 24, and Wian Munnik<\/strong> chipping in with 38 off 36.<\/p>\n

Then, after the top order laid a solid foundation, it was “Go big or go home” from the middle order.<\/p>\n

Coming in at five, Derrick Groenewald<\/strong> top scored with a hasty 60 runs off 32 balls, cracking five fours and four sixes, for a healthy strike rate of 188. Charles King<\/strong> also raised the tempo, smashing three sixes in his 37 off 24 deliveries.<\/p>\n

After batting at 8.43 runs per over, Paarl Gimnasium completed their 30 overs on a daunting 253\/7.<\/p>\n

Kye Davidson<\/strong> and Jacob Wellington<\/strong> sled the visitors’ attack with two wickets each, while Xander Hill<\/strong> was the most economical of their bowlers, conceding 6.2 runs per over while the rest went for more than eight.<\/p>\n

When Trinity Grammar visited the crease, top order batsman, Akein Madarasinghe<\/strong>, played the anchor role with a patient 23 off 41, but none of his teammates hung around long enough to build a solid partnership.<\/p>\n

The Gimmies bowling attack was as impressive and consistent as their batting lineup. De Waal Viviers<\/strong> took a telling 3\/23 in his five overs, while Louis Koen<\/strong> was as accurate with the cricket ball as he is with the rugby ball at flyhalf. He claimed a miserly 2\/2 in four overs, which included two maidens.<\/p>\n

After 28 overs, Trinity Grammar was all out for 87, leaving Paarl Gimnasium the winners by a huge 166-run margin.<\/p>\n
