Jayden Zoutendyk<\/strong> scored a classy, unbeaten half-century to set up Ho\u00ebrskool Noordheuwel <\/strong>for a 17-run win over Parktown Boys’ High<\/strong>\u00a0at Parktown in their Johnny Waite Trophy<\/strong> contest on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The toss went Parktown’s way, and the hosts asked Noordheuwel to bat first on a tough surface.<\/p>\n

With a battling effort, Norries <\/em><\/strong>worked their way to 123\/7 before their bowlers restricted Parktown to 106\/7 in reply.<\/p>\n

Zoutendyk, who walked out to bat in the first over, held the Noordheuwel innings together with an unbeaten 64 from 58 balls, showing great application on a wicket that favoured the bowlers.<\/p>\n

Norries struggled to stitch together partnerships. Their highest was Zoutendyk\u2019s 36-run seventh-wicket stand with Juwan Lamont<\/strong>, who chipped in with 15.<\/p>\n

Zoutendyk also added 28 runs for the sixth wicket with Tidimalo Moeketsane<\/strong> (17) and 22 runs for the fifth wicket with Steph Jooste<\/strong> (5).<\/p>\n

Hlasi Mqingwana<\/strong> was Parktown’s most successful bowler, spearheading their attack with an impressive 4\/20 in his four overs. Lulama Sithole<\/strong>, Ashton Govender<\/strong>, and Neo Lemmer<\/strong> chipped in with a wicket each.<\/p>\n

Noordheuwel’s\u00a0cohesion in the field played a huge role in their victory. It brought about the end of Parktown openers, Abdullah Wadee<\/strong> (13) and Mkhosi Makhaya <\/strong>(8), who were both run out. That forced the home side onto the back foot, and they weren’t able to properly recover from that position.<\/p>\n

Lulama Sithole and Mikaeel Garda<\/strong> top-scored for Parktown with just 16 runs apiece, while Wadee, Neo Lemmer (12), and Josh van Rensburg<\/strong> (12) also made it into double figures.<\/p>\n

Moeketsane led the Noordheuwel attack, capturing 2\/16 in three overs, while Hanru Begeman<\/strong> and Reney van den Berg<\/strong> took a wicket each.<\/p>\n

Helpmekaar vs Jeppe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeppe<\/strong>, the regional champion of the Switch Schools SA20 Volume Two competition<\/strong><\/a>, came out on the wrong end of the result when they hosted Helpmekaar<\/strong> in the Johnny Waite Trophy competition on Monday, in the same 20-over format. The visitors produced a clinical performance to win by five wickets.<\/p>\n

Jeppe won the toss, elected to bat first, and scored 114\/8, to which Helpmekaar replied with 117\/5 in 18 overs.<\/p>\n

Early in their run chase, though, Helpies <\/strong><\/em>found themselves in trouble, losing Frederick Zeelie<\/strong> and Ewald Haasbroek<\/strong> in the second over. Thankfully, for the visitors, Sebastian Kloek<\/strong> and Zuan Joubert <\/strong>got them back on course with an outstanding 83-run third-wicket partnership that put the required total within touching distance.<\/p>\n

Joubert top-scored with a brisk 47 from only 34 balls, while Kloek adopted a more patient approach, on his way to 43 from 53 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the contest, Heinrich Minnaar<\/strong> claimed 3\/20 in four overs to help Helpmekaar restrict Jeppe to a middling total. Dominic Tait<\/strong> and John Butner <\/strong>added a brace each, and Xander Jackson removed a batsman, too.<\/p>\n

Lincoln Casais<\/strong> was Jeppe’s shining light with a steady 35 from 38 balls. Goolam Ahmed<\/strong> was their second-highest scorer with 22 from 27 balls, while Ryan Young<\/strong> (11) and Phemelo Sekopane<\/strong> (10) also made it into double figures.<\/p>\n
