Ho\u00ebrskool Parel Vallei vs SACS<\/strong><\/p>\n

After his side was instructed to field first at Parel Vallei High (PV)<\/strong> on Saturday, Saeed Conrad<\/strong> led a strong SACS bowling effort, picking up 3\/29 in four overs, which included one top-order, one middle-order, and one lower-order batsman.<\/p>\n

His peer, Aqeel Waggie<\/strong>, removed dangermen, Chris Hughes<\/strong> and Divan Sander<\/strong>, and returned a tidy 2\/8 in six overs, helping to restrict the Somerset West<\/strong> school to only 81 all out from 26.2 of their 50 overs.<\/p>\n

Opener Luke Engelbrecht<\/strong> was the only PV<\/strong><\/em> batsman to score more than a dozen, tallying a patient 36 runs off 87 balls.<\/p>\n

When SACS batted, Hughes got his revenge on Waggie, dismissing the opener for just four runs.<\/p>\n

From there, however, the other opener, Benjamin Blackburn<\/strong>, smashed six fours and three sixes in an unbeaten 48 off only 43 deliveries.<\/p>\n

He was the primary driver for the Cape Town school, steering them to 84\/2 after 17.4 overs and an eight-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Paarl Boys’ High vs Wynberg Boys’ High\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hosts, Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong>, decided to bat first after winning the toss in their one-day, one-innings fixture against Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>, and Neil Louw<\/strong> took it to Wynberg, collecting a highlight reel of 11 fours in his impactful 82 runs off 153 balls.<\/p>\n

Batting at four, Roan Heyns<\/strong> was the next highest scorer for the Paarl outfit, blasting five fours and a six in his otherwise conservative 43 off 82 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Raihan Kahn<\/strong> was, meanwhile, the only member of the visiting bowling unit who looked at home on the Paarl pitch, taking 4\/75 in 15 overs as Boishaai<\/strong><\/em> declared after 65 overs with 247\/9 on the board.<\/p>\n

Faced with a challenging run chase, Wynberg got off to a shaky start and veered off course to find themselves in early trouble on 33\/4 after 13.2 overs.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the crease after the fall of the second wicket, English exchange student, James Mitchell<\/strong>, hammered 14 fours and a six in a fighting knock of 108 off 136 balls, and captain Michail Tarentaal<\/strong> stuck around with him to share an 83-run fifth-wicket partnership, striking seven fours in his 35.\u00a0Their efforts, though, weren’t enough as further batting support was sparse.<\/p>\n

Aden Batt<\/strong> was one of the reasons for that, capturing 4\/50 across a lengthy 18 overs.\u00a0Ed Lee Koopman<\/strong> played his part, too, by dismissing two of the top order batsmen early. He finished with 2\/30 from nine overs.<\/p>\n

The visitors’ innings ended after 52.4 overs at the crease on 189 all out, leaving Boishaai the handsome winners by 58 runs. This is also the second year in a row in which Paarl Boys’ High has defeated Wynberg Boys’ High despite wearing the underdog collar. The fixture is turning into quite a fearsome rivalry.<\/p>\n

Summarised Scorecards:<\/strong><\/p>\n
