\"\"Rondebosch Boys’ High vs Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong><\/p>\n

The visiting Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> sent Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> out to bat after the coin toss went their way on Saturday morning in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

There were 130 overs allocated for the day’s play in the declaration contest, with the side batting first being allowed to take up as many of those overs as they liked.<\/p>\n

Openers Eli Aufrichtig<\/strong> and Luca Ghignone<\/strong> limited risks in their opening stand, consuming 182 balls for their 74-run partnership. They were as cool as ice, with Aufrichtig contributing 39 off 96 deliveries, while Ghignone added 35 off 86.<\/p>\n

In at three, Tyler Heyns<\/strong> picked up the tempo, recording a six and five fours in his 63 off 88 as the home side’s batsmen delivered consistency. Raa’id Davids<\/strong>, batting at eight, was not out at the end, having struck two fours and three sixes in his 37 off 38.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Stafford<\/strong> bowled a lengthy 21 overs to snare 3\/81, while Fawaaz Hendricks<\/strong> recorded an even lengthier 25 overs and finished with 2\/61.<\/p>\n

After 73 overs, Rondebosch declared on 251\/6, which left them with 57 overs to try to bowl out Wynberg.<\/p>\n

Like Wynberg, the home side, primarily, put the ball in the hands of two bowlers. Raa’id Davids<\/strong>, a perennial wicket-taker, was up for the challenge, claiming 3\/22 in 13 overs. Ethan De Heer Kloots<\/strong> was even busier, sending down 17 overs and claiming 2\/39.<\/p>\n

Batting at six, Joshua Prince<\/strong> top-scored for his team, cracking five fours in his 34, while Chad Campbell<\/strong>, the number eight batsman, finished unbeaten on 32 off 55, which included three fours and a six.<\/p>\n

Damien Harris <\/strong>entered the fray after the fall of the seventh wicket and opted for survival mode, facing 29 balls for his nought not out.<\/p>\n

When the match ended, Wynberg had reached 152\/7, resulting in a draw between the southern suburbs’ rivals.<\/p>\n

Oakdale Landbou vs Ho\u00ebrskool Outeniqua<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Riversdal, Oakdale Landbou<\/strong> was home against Ho\u00ebrskool Outeniqua<\/strong> in a limited-overs match.<\/p>\n

The Farmers<\/strong><\/em> made a slow start. Opener Andr\u00e9 Gouws<\/strong> grafted hard for 21 from 61 deliveries, but the other three members of the top four were dismissed for a combined three runs. The middle order added some ballast to the home side’s total, with Stian Pfaff<\/strong>, at seven, thumping four fours in his 46 off 64.<\/p>\n

Liam Haasbroek<\/strong> troubled the Oakdale batsmen, capturing 4\/28 in eight overs, while Wernich Cassell<\/strong> brought an end to the hosts’ innings by nabbing 3\/28 from 8.5 overs.<\/p>\n

However, 22 wides and 30 extras in total helped to boost the Farmers to 160 all out after 47.5 overs.<\/p>\n

The George outfit’s reply was fuelled by batsmen three to five, with Idan Balzun<\/strong> making 27 off 39, Hanno Swart<\/strong> a patient 38 off 72, and Daniel du Preez<\/strong> 25 off 39.<\/p>\n

However, despite their conservative approach, the other visiting batsmen weren’t able to stay around for more than 10 runs each.<\/p>\n

Barry Durr<\/strong> led the Oakdale attack with distinction, knocking over 4\/19 in eight overs, while Harri Venter<\/strong> stopped the Kwaggas<\/strong>‘ run chase in its tracks, snapping up 3\/14 in 7.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Outeniqua’s challenge ended with the visitors all out for 131, leaving Oakdale with a satisfying 29-run victory.<\/p>\n
