It was a disappointing day in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, where most of the matches in the ongoing CSA Under-19 Competition, ended without any play on the final day because of bad weather.
The match between Border Under-19s and Western Province Under-19s also suffered a similar fate where fans could nohttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472 see a single ball get bowled on Saturday.
There wasn’t any play on the second day as well, bringing the game to a sad end.
The first day was nonetheless, promising for Border Under 19s as their bowlers dominated Western Province Under-19s, giving spectators a good show of wits and courage.
While the bowlers kept exerting pressure on the batsmen, the batting side fought to survive the day, giving fans from both sides plenty to cheer about.
Western Province Under-19s won the toss on the first day and chose to bat in a bid to pile a big score on the board to secure a comprehensive lead.
The batting side, however, failed to take advantage of the toss as they could muster an opening stand of only 26 runs before losing their first wicket.
Nonetheless, the second-wicket partnership between K http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 and skipper D Bedingham was impressive, as the two batsmen forged a defiant stand against the bowlers and took the score to 108.
However, before they could further improve their team’s position, Christoffels spoiled the party by dismissing the Western Province skipper, who perished after clobbering a fantastic knock of 63 off 59 deliveries.
Middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/J-Smith-c65008, then smashed 17 runs while batting alongside K Smith before losing his wicket. The batsman left his side standing on 148.
K Smith, who was batting superbly, was Border’s next victim as he was dismissed by Modiba after moulding an innings of 45 runs. At the time this wicket, Western Province had amassed 156 runs on the scoreboard.
The remaining batting line-up was disappointing as the batsmen failed against the bowlers with their side ending the day on 192 for the loss of eight wickets.
