Paul Roos bags big win over Hermanus
Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG) welcomed Hermanus High to Stellenbosch on Monday for a T20 clash ahead of PRG’s participation in the Wildeklawer T20, from Thursday.
The home side won the toss and elected to bat first. Thanks to some explosive hitting, they put up a mammoth total of 247/3 and then comfortably cruised to a 174-run victory by dismissing the visitors well before they’d reached three figures.
Paul Roos opener Aiden Titus was at it from the first ball, scoring at over two runs per ball in an electric 63 runs off 31 deliveries, which included eight fours and two sixes.
Titus, though, saw a couple of his top order teammates depart cheaply, but Nathan van den Berg and James Holm then set the field alight with a rollicking unbroken partnership of 161 off only 76 balls.
Van den Berg’s contribution was 79 off 38, with four fours and five maximums, while Holm smashed 78 off 40, with five fours and five sixes.
Only Unako Mazuthu enjoyed success with the ball, picking up 2/31 in four overs. His economy rate was almost four runs per over better than the next-best Hermanus bowler. The only other Paul Roos wicket to go down was by way of a run out.
When the visitors batted, only middle order batsman, Lukas Calitz, reached double figures. He struck two fours and a six in quickfire 22 off 17, but the PRG bowlers were well on top.
Jason Raal ripped through the Hermanus batting order, knocking over 4/11 in 2.5 overs, while Morné Pauw took 3/11 in four, and Noah Appolis 3/6, also from four.
After 17.5 overs, Hermanus was all out for 73/10.
