On Saturday morning, Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> hosted Rondebosch Boys’ High, Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> and SACS<\/strong> for the final three matches of the Western Province Switch Schools SA20 – Volume Two<\/strong> competition.<\/p>\n

Bishops Diocesan College vs SACS (20-over) (Semi-Final One)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing on the Frank Reid Oval<\/strong>, Bishops won the toss and opted to bat first in their semi-final against SACS.<\/p>\n

They delivered a strong batting display, which they backed up with a sound effort in the field to claim a hard-fought victory despite some impressive batting from the SACS’ top order.<\/p>\n

When Bishops batted, Saeed Conrad<\/strong> caused them problems, capturing 4\/35 from four overs. The hosts, though, scored at a healthy 8.3 runs per over to post 166\/6 from their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Openers Alex Vintcent<\/strong> and Ibraheem Taliep<\/strong> put up a confident 38-run opening stand, with Vintcent knocking a rapid 25 runs off 17 balls, which included walloping three fours and a six. At the other end, Taliep rotated the strike effectively, striking a four and a six in his contribution of 23 off 21.<\/p>\n

In at four, Thaafier Japtha’s<\/strong> unbeaten 38 off 36 included four fours and kept the run rate flowing at the end of the innings.<\/p>\n
