St. Andrew’s College vs Boland Landbou<\/strong><\/p>\n

After their fixture against Kingswood College<\/strong> was washed out by rain on Thursday, Boland Landbou<\/strong> was happy to walk out to the crease against St. Andrew’s College<\/strong> on Friday.<\/p>\n

After College won the toss and chose to field in the 40-over clash, the Paarl<\/strong> outfit responded with 223 all out in 39.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Boland Landbou captain Francois Prins<\/strong> entered the fray at four and smashed eight fours and four sixes in an explosive 79 off 45 balls. Tailender, Caleb Seroot<\/strong>, impressed with five fours in an unbeaten 51 off 61.<\/p>\n

Ethan Malan<\/strong> dismissed two middle-order batsmen for ducks in his 4\/56 from eight overs, while Thomas Bussiahn<\/strong> captured 2\/24 in a three-over spell.<\/p>\n

When St Andrew’s College took to the crease, Kobus Conradie<\/strong> dispatched both opening batsmen, on his way to 2\/37 in eight overs. It was, nonetheless, a fairly straightforward chase for the home side.<\/p>\n

Connor Holder<\/strong> batted superbly at four to lead the run pursuit, bludgeoning four fours and six maximums in a ferocious 116 off 84 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Caleb Emslie<\/strong>, the next man in, partnered Holder for 140 runs for the fourth wicket, and was undefeated on 49 off 47 at the end.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s made it over the line with 15 balls to spare, reaching 227\/3 to record a comfortable seven-wicket margin.<\/p>\n

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

Also on Friday, Milnerton High<\/strong> hosted Parel Vallei<\/strong> High (PV)<\/strong>, also in a 40-overs-a-side clash.<\/p>\n

Millies<\/strong> <\/em>won the toss and elected to field first. At first, PV struggled for consistency, but Chris Hughes<\/strong>, their number four batsman, and Divan Sander<\/strong>, batting at six, delivered it.<\/p>\n

Hughes aimed to survive, and he took up 49 deliveries to contribute 25 runs. Sander’s innings, which included two fours, provided a similar return. He top-scored with 32 off 54.<\/p>\n

Tristan Logie<\/strong> and Bradley Barnes<\/strong> were the home side’s dangermen, with Logie capturing 3\/32 in eight overs, while Barnes nabbed 3\/30 in his eight overs as Parel Vallei accumulated 138\/9 after their 40.<\/p>\n

Millies got off to a slow start in reply. Ryan<\/strong> Trollip<\/strong>, with 24 off 39, produced the best return from their top four. Arriving in the middle at six, Tristan Logie matched PV’s Sander with the match’s top score of 32 runs, with his knock featuring two fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n

Each of the five bowlers used by Parel Vallei bowled their full quota of overs and picked up a wicket, except Daniel Dreyer<\/strong>, who claimed 2\/23 and was also involved in a run out.<\/p>\n

Milnerton’s innings lasted to the final ball of their 40 overs, when they were all out for 126, leaving Parel Vallei with a tight 12-run win.<\/p>\n
