New Zealand Under-19s v South Africa Under-19s – ICC Under-19 World Cup (Warm-Up Match) – Match Update
Aided by wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock’s half-century, the South Africa Under-19s succeeded in besting the New Zealand under-19s by 6-wickets during their http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 Oval in Brisbane today on August
7.
The New Zealand Under-19s stepped up to bat after losing the toss, but their batsmen were unable to convert their starts into substantial contributions, with the South Africa U-19 bowlers picking them off one by one.
Vincent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Joseph-Davidson-c76074, who appeared to be on his way to a decent total, succumbed to Shaylin Pillay
at 24 in the 20th over, and the top order was taken care of.
Prenelan Subrayen (8-0-20-2) also formed an instrumental part of the Proteas’ bowling attack, dismissing Robert O'Donnell (12) and following that up with the wicket of Henry Walsh, cutting him off at 33.
Connor Neynens (33*) remained the only one who was able to resist the bowling attack – barring him, the remainder of the batsmen gave their wickets away cheaply, and Corné Dry took care of the tail, sending both Arnie Yugaraja (14) and Ish Sodhi (8) back
to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 Under-19s, however, were more than up to chasing the target, managing to reach 185 at the expense of 4 wickets, with 124 balls remaining.
Openers de Kock (80) and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chad-Bowes-c49511 (36) joined forces to establish a solid foundation of 127 runs for the side, following which both batsmen retired out.
Their successors Gihahn Cloete (2) and Theunis de Bruyn (5) were unable to match up to their standard, both dismissed by Theo http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graham-Robert-Cowdrey-c60631 Woerkom – the former stumped by wicketkeeper Cam Fletcher, and the latter caught and bowled.
However, Murray Coetzee (29) and Pillay (17) established an unbeaten 45-run stand which got their side safely over the finish line, enabling them to reach 185 by the 30th over.
