North West v South Africa Schools XI – Coca-Cola http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khaya-Majola-c71350 Week – Match Update – North West claim 6-wicket win
Opening batsmen Hendrik van der Dussen and Kagiso Rapulana established a solid foundation for their side and North West went on to clinch a 6-wicket win, with 71 balls remaining, over the South Africa Schools XI, in their 50-over match during the ongoing Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Week, played at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, today on December 21.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dieter-Klein-c54062 (10-1-33-4), Armandt Erasmus (9.2-2-44-2), and Cliffe Deacon (10-1-35-2) managed to bowl their opponents out for 220.
Openers Wesley Coulentianos (5) and Greg Oldfield (9) failed to do much for their team, while skipper Diego Rosier (8) and Shaylin Pillay (14) remained similarly lacklustre. However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Llewellyn-Smith-c66451 (54) and Vassilli Orros (50) resuscitated the team’s innings with a 100-run partnership for the 5th wicket.
Both batsmen were eventually sent packing in successive overs, after which the score stood at 154 for 6. Wicketkeeper Clyde Fortuin (20) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shafiek-Abrahams-c89280 (14) provided an extra burst with a 40-run 7-wicket partnership, and their combined efforts, followed by those of Craig Kirsten (14), Anrich Nortje (3*), and Ngazibini Sigwili (5), led the team up to a final total of 220, after which they were all out.
The target, in turn, did not pose any difficulties for North West, who managed to complete the chase with ease, defying the efforts of Orros (8.1-1-39-2). Openers Hendrik http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thandisizwe-Andrew-Bula-c93105 (16) followed soon afterwards, after a mediocre contribution.
However, Kyllin Vardhan stepped in to take charge, and drove the rest of the innings forward, remaining unbeaten on 27, and taking the team through the chase safely. Andries Huisamen (22) joined Vardhan for a 33-run stand, and after Huisamen’s dismissal, the unbeaten 12-run partnership between Vardhan and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Liphaphang-Jimmy-Kgamadi-c73001 (6*) saw North West home safe, with 6 wickets and 71 balls remaining.
