Bishops Diocesan College vs St. Andrew’s College (35-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

St Andrew’s College<\/strong> won the toss on Bishops’ Frank Reid Oval <\/strong>and chose to field first on Monday, but that decision was punished by the hosts, who smashed their way to a prodigious total.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, rain intervened, but Bishops, nonetheless, won on the DLS system by a big 127-run margin.<\/p>\n

In at number three for Bishops, James Robb-Quinlan<\/strong> scored a bruising 68 runs off 44 balls, bashing five fours and four sixes.<\/p>\n

Further down the order, Litha Mbiko<\/strong> wallop five fours and launched two deliveries for the maximum in his 49 off 34 deliveries as Bishops rocketed to 264\/9.<\/p>\n

Despite the rapid rate of scoring, some St Andrew’s College bowlers produced good performances, Will Stevens <\/strong>collected 3\/39, James Badenhorst<\/strong> ended with 3\/48, and Andrew Turvey<\/strong> claimed 2\/18. The Makhanda school’s batting effort was less successful, however,<\/p>\n

In at the fall of a fourth wicket, Ben Scharges<\/strong> stood alone, striking an unbeaten 32 off 44 balls, which included four fours, but he received little support.<\/p>\n

Michael Kruiskamp<\/strong> turned up the heat, capturing 4\/23 from seven overs, which played a big role in leaving St Andrew’s struggling on 80\/7 when rain stopped play after 21.4 overs.<\/p>\n

Wynberg Boys’ High vs Union High (20-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union High<\/strong> won the toss on Wynberg’s Jacques Kallis Oval <\/strong>and chose to bat first in a T20 fixture, but they were unable to truly get their run rate flowing, which resulted in their hosts recording an eight-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Opener Xavier Barlow<\/strong> weighed in with 34 runs off 45 balls, which was the leading score for the Graaff-Reinet<\/strong> locals, while Yaseen Kazi<\/strong>, with 24 off 24, added some resistance in the early overs.<\/p>\n

However, after their 20 overs, Union High had reached only a middling 101\/8. Damien Harris<\/strong>, who has been in excellent form throughout the Cape Schools Festival<\/strong>, damaged their batting effort by racking up 3\/14 in four overs.<\/p>\n

Wynberg was, then, ruthless in their run chase, powering their way to 102\/2 in just 10.2 overs, at a run rate of 9.87 per over.<\/p>\n

Joshua Prince<\/strong> smashed an unbeaten 54 off 30, striking eight fours and a six, while opener Muhammad Ameen Schroeder<\/strong> contributed 26 off only 14 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Kazi dismissed Schroeder, caught and bowled, while the other Wynberg wicket fell to a run out.<\/p>\n
