Rachin Ravindra (formerly Hutt International Boys’ School) produced a Player of the Match performance against the highly ranked South Africans, scoring 76 off 89 and then taking 4 for 32 with the ball. Jacob Bhula (Welllington College) scored 44 and Dale Phillips (Pakuranga College) 43 in their score of 279 for 8. As well as Ravindra, Bhula and Matthew Fisher (St Paul’s Collegiate) snared 2 wickets apiece as South Africa fell to be all out for 208.
