This enabled Jeppe to comfortably beat <strong>Grey High<\/strong> with 67 runs. The collective Jeppe batting effort was backed up by some disciplined spin-bowling and efficient fielding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keegan Caxiera<\/strong> was the pick of the Johannesburg bowlers with figures of 2\/12, while <strong>Zizi Mkhize<\/strong> (2\/19) and <strong>Reza Ayob<\/strong> (2\/32) provided the necessary support.
