South Africa Under-19 vs Cricket Web Under-19
at the Pickford Reserve
Scorecard
Commentary
Young South Africa redeemed a woeful series performance somewhat, claiming victory in the third YODI at the Pickford Reserve by a clear 25 runs. Again it was the containment of the slower bowlers that did the greatest service, and the Webheads failed to chase 272-7.
The visitors won the toss and batted well on a good strip, scoring freely most times against the Cricket Web attack. Only Chis Dwyer had any great impact, as he worked well with Stephen Burke in particular, whilst taking 4 wickets.
Set 273 for victory, Dwyer and Mamesh laid a decent platform of 46. But wickets at regular intervals saw the score reduced to 124-4 and despite good contributions from Burke (50) and Scott (40), the Webheads simply could not contend with the escalating run rate requirement.
