\"OldWynberg Boys’ High vs St. Andrew’s School (50-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The toss went Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>‘s way when they faced St Andrew’s School<\/strong> on the Jacques Kallis Oval<\/strong> on Tuesday in a 50-over match. The home side was made to graft hard for their 192\/9, but they did a superb job defending it to pull off an impressive 45-run victory.<\/p>\n

Opening batsman Fawaaz Hendricks<\/strong> laid a solid foundation for the home side, making 48 off 81 balls, while his fellow opener, Jiyaad<\/strong> Abrahams<\/strong>, made 24 before being run out, which brought an end to their 68-run opening stand.<\/p>\n

Michail Tarentaal<\/strong>, in the middle order, provided a useful 26, while Hugo Norambuena<\/span> gave the innings a substantial boost, whacking two sixes and a four in a run-a-ball 30.<\/p>\n

Erhard Barends<\/strong> delivered excellence for Saints<\/strong><\/em>, claiming 4\/32 in eight overs, while\u00a0Andrew Sobiech<\/strong> tied down the home team’s batsmen with a tidy 2\/22 from 10. FG Botha<\/strong> procured 2\/40 in seven overs.<\/p>\n

Botha was, also, the pick of the St Andrew’s batsmen. While seven of the Bloemfontein side’s players fell cheaply, he played with freedom, smashing seven fours and three sixes in his 54 off 39 balls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A three-wicket flurry left St Andrew’s in deep trouble on 75\/6 in the 14th over, but Schalk van Rensburg<\/strong> and Reuben van <\/strong><\/span>Aarde<\/span><\/strong> then combined for 69 runs for the seventh wicket. It was, however, slow going, with that partnership taking up almost 25 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Van Aarde’s patient knock brought him 34 runs off 96 balls, while Van Rensburg<\/strong> contributed 26 off 76, but no other batsmen made it beyond single figures.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Stafford<\/strong> was in peak form, snaring 3\/14 in nine overs to bring the match to an end. It was, however, Ihsan Khan<\/strong> who set Wynberg on course for victory with his 3\/22, which sparked the Saints’ middle order collapse.<\/p>\n

After 43.5 overs, St Andrew’s was all out for 147. After three strong wins on the trot, the defeat brought their unbeaten Cape Schools Cricket Festival record to a halt.<\/p>\n

SACS vs Grey High (20-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The toss went the way of SACS,<\/strong> and they opted to field first in their T20 match against Grey High School<\/strong> on the De Villiers Oval<\/strong>. A nail-biting contest unfolded, with SACS clinching a heart-stopping two-wicket win with only five balls remaining in the game.<\/p>\n

They batted out their 20 overs, but Grey was dismissed for an average 111 off the last ball of their innings.<\/p>\n

Logan Goddard-Ford<\/strong> got after the SACS bowlers, hammering three fours and three sixes in the innings’ top score of 46 off 39 deliveries.\u00a0James Upton<\/strong>, meanwhile, chipped in with 20 off 27 and shared a 60-run fifth wicket partnership with Goddard-Ford.<\/p>\n

Around them, a steady procession of batsmen made their way to the crease and then made their way off the field in quick order.<\/p>\n

Abhay Kalan<\/strong> was responsible for the dismissal of four batsmen, capturing a tremendous 4\/29 in four overs. Aqeel Waggie<\/strong> added 2\/9 in two overs, Nic Oscraft<\/strong> claimed 2\/17 in four, and Ronan Meintjies<\/strong> dialled up the pressure with 1\/13 in four.<\/p>\n

Waggie, who was in at the fall of the first wicket, then gave the SACS innings some impetus, scoring a valuable 36 off 32 balls, which included two fours and two sixes. Jordan Berry<\/strong> contributed 17 off 20 as he and Waggie combined for a 36-run third wicket partnership.<\/p>\n

When SACS slid to 94\/8 with 11 balls remaining, the game was in the balance, but Nic Oscraft<\/strong> and Vaughn van den Berg<\/strong> produced an unbeaten 21-run partnership for the ninth wicket, scoring 15 and seven respectively, to see the home team to thrilling victory.<\/p>\n

Matthew Tinley<\/strong> was brilliant for Grey High, snapping up 4\/14 in four overs. Markus Potgieter<\/strong> added good support, picking up 2\/18 in three.<\/p>\n
