Mpumalanga Under-19s, who chose to bat first on winning the toss, had a spectacular start to their innings with openers M http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Barnard-c47302 and C Coetzee dominating the bowlers right from the get go.
The latter was then the first wicket of the day, as he was trapped in front of stumps after bolstering a well tamed knock of 24 runs.
His opening partner was then the next to find his way back to the pavilion when he was removed by Simmonds after he had smacked a sensational knock of 44 runs.

This partnership could take the score to only 86 runs, before Joubert was run out after scoring an 11-run knock.

KwaZulu-Natal Under-19s then started their run chase with a 29-run shttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472and. However, they lost their second wicket rather cheaply when T Trenoweth (24) was removed by Khoza with the team on 35 runs.
