The ๐/๐ญ๐ญ๐ team’s encounter saw St Andrew’s winning the toss and choosing to bat, posting a competitive total of 180 runs after a solid middle-order performance, despite early pressure from Union’s bowlers.
In response, Union started well, reaching lunch without losing a wicket. However, after the break, St Andrew’s disciplined bowling restricted Union, who batted out their full 30 overs but fell short, ending 101 runs behind, giving St Andrew’s a comfortable victory.
Union’s ๐/๐ญ๐ญ๐ team won the toss and chose to bat first but struggled throughout, falling to pressure and being bowled out for just 32 runs.
St Andrew’s chased down the total in 8.2 overs, losing only 2 wickets.
Callan Strydom was the standout performer for Union, taking 2 wickets for just 5 runs in 3 overs.
