He ends by saying that when you plan something and it comes off perfectly you feel good about it.
Stay tuned for Presentations...
Earlier in the game, after early damage, Owen Gould and Jamie Dunk steadied the ship for a while. Once they fell, the flurry of runs showed down. Later, Bahadar Esakhiel showed resilience in his batting and helped Scotland Under-19 reach a commendable total of 251 runs. Peter-Daniel Blignaut was the standout bowler for Namibia Under-19.
Scotland Under-19 bowled well. They kept on bowling tight lines and lengths. They failed to pick timely wickets, though. Ibrahim Faisal picked up three wickets. Qasim Khan picked up two wickets for his side, while Adi Hegde chipped in with one.
With 252 runs to chase, Namibia Under-19 were off to a steady start and lost early wickets. Johannes Visagie and Zacheo Vuuren steadied the ship. It felt like they had the game under their control before Johannes Visagie fell in the 33rd over. Alexander Volschenk took charge then and played a good cameo of 32 runs, but after he fell, the flurry of runs slowed down for a bit. They fought till the very end but lost the game by a narrow margin of just 3 runs. Zacheo Vuuren had a remarkable inning but fell on the second last ball after scoring 86 off 119!
WOW! What a cracker of a game we have witnessed here at Willowmoore Park, Benoni! The momentum of the game shifted from one corner to another, and in the end, it was Scotland Under-19 who won the game by just 3 runs! Namibia Under-19 fought hard for the win till the very last ball but fell short by a few runs.
