When ‘Bosch batted, all five of their batsmen scored 28 or more runs.
Janko Webb came in at four and impressed the most, bashing 11 fours and three sixes in an audacious 83 off 64.
Daniel Bosman, who headed out to the middle after the fall of the first wicket, tallied 40 off 42 and shared a 66-run second wicket partnership with Eli Aufrichtig.
There was little joy for the SACS bowlers as Rondebosch raced to 240/3 after 38.5 overs, winning the match with 67 balls to spare.
Bethlehem Voortrekker Hoërskool vs Welkom Gimnasium (50-over)
In a Free State showdown, Welkom Gimnasium won the toss at home and opted to bowl first against Bethlehem Voortrekker Hoërskool. It was a good call as the home side’s bowlers dominated, sending Voortrekker packing for only 115.
Number three batsman, Ruan Heunis made a decent 23 off 30 balls, while Jayden Strydom, batting eighth in the order, resisted with a patient and unbeaten 26 off 62.
