SACS rockets to impressive victory over Paarl Boys’ High
In a T20 fixture on Tuesday night, Paarl Boys’ High hosted SACS on the Brug Street A Oval.
Batting first, Boishaai produced what appeared to be a decent total of 135/8.
AB Jacobs provided his side with a strong start, swatting six fours and a six in his rapid 42 off just 28 balls.
Later, Aden Batt, coming in at 10, boosted the home side’s total with a quickfire 24 not out from 16 balls, two of which he sent to the boundary.
SACS picked up wickets regularly, though, which impacted Boys’ High’s ability to build up batting momentum.
Three bowlers claimed two wickets each in four overs, with Abhay Kalan returning 2/18 and Ben Blackburn 2/21. Saeed Conrad came in for some stick but finished with 2/55.
Much like their bowling attack, the SACS batting effort had three primary contributors.
Opener Aqeel Waggie smashed four fours and three sixes in an entertaining 51 off 34 deliveries. Benji Tilbury assisted him with 29 off 18, striking three fours and two maximums as they shared 54 runs for the first wicket.
Jordan Berry, the third man to the crease, cracked four fours and a six to contribute a sharp 35 off 26.
Batt, with 2/41 from four overs, was the only Boishaai bowler to claim more than one wicket. Jacobs, with 1/28, also removed a batsman.
With strong and aggressive batting, though, SACS bounded to a convincing victory in only 14.3 overs, reaching 136/3 to win by seven wickets.
