Paul Roos Gimnasium vs Paarl Boys’ High (50-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> won the toss at Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong>, and decided to bat first. That decision backfired, however, as they were dismissed for a modest total, which the hosts chased down with eight wickets to spare.<\/p>\n

Opener AB Jacobs<\/strong> had scored a century earlier in the week and he again made the highest score for Boishaai<\/strong><\/em>, entertaining the spectators with five fours in his 48 runs off 52 balls.<\/p>\n

Lower down the order, Aiden Batt<\/strong> weighed in with a patient 32 off 67 to help extend the Paarl<\/strong> outfit’s innings to 158 all out after 40 overs.<\/p>\n

James Holm<\/strong> shredded the visitors’ batting, capturing 5\/27 from 10 overs, while Jason Raal<\/strong> knocked back 3\/6 in only two overs.<\/p>\n

Paul Roos then made light work of the run chase, thanks to a 153-run second wicket partnership between\u00a0Luca Plekker<\/strong> and Enr\u00e9 van Zyl<\/strong>. Plekker hit an undefeated 74 off 73, hammering 10 fours and two sixes, while Van Zyl tallied nine fours in his 60 off 74.<\/p>\n

Most of the Boishaai bowlers found the going tough, but Batt threatened, picking up a tidy 1\/28 in 10 overs.<\/p>\n

In the end, though, it took Paul Roos only 25 overs to reach 161\/2 and claim victory.<\/p>\n

Boland Landbou vs Milnerton High (20-over)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a Friday afternoon friendly 20-over fixture, Boland Landbou<\/strong> opted to bat first when they hosted Milnerton High<\/strong>. The<\/strong> F<\/strong>armers<\/strong><\/em> bashed a big total and bowled well to defend it with ease, winning the match by 64 runs.<\/p>\n

The home side’s Francois Prins <\/strong>showed why he bats third in the order by blasting five fours and seven sixes in an action-packed 92 runs off 50 deliveries. Then, Kobus Conradie<\/strong>, the sixth man in,\u00a0didn’t take any sighters. He went after the Milnerton bowlers from ball one, cracking two fours and two sixes in an unbeaten 30 off 13.<\/p>\n

Bradley Barnes<\/strong> was the best of the Millies<\/strong><\/em>‘ bowlers, claiming 2\/36 from four overs as Boland Landbou tallied 181\/5.<\/p>\n

Facing a stiff challenge, Milnerton’s openers, Tristan Logie<\/strong> and Daniel Bloemetjie<\/strong>, to their credit, put up a good fight. Logie knocked a steady 31 off 33, striking three fours, while Bloemetjie thumped a four and two sixes in a defiant 20 off 11.<\/p>\n

Gunther Schmidt<\/strong>, though, delivered the goods with the ball, snaring 3\/19 in four overs. Conradie needed only 11 balls for his 2\/2, while Troy Davis<\/strong> claimed 2\/28 in four overs as Milnerton’s innings was ended with one ball remaining for 117.<\/p>\n
