Ghafari, Zardan relegate frustrated South Africa to eighth at the U19 world cup

The Junior Proteas’ poor showing in Benoni today meant the team finished in eighth position in the 16-team tournament.

As the spinners were finally introduced in the 12th over, Karelse and Luke Beaufort buckled down and barely troubled the scorers, managing only 22 runs in nine overs of spin before star spinner and chief destroyer in the previous game, Ghafari, took advantage of the pressure and bowled Karelse in his first over for 10.

Bowlers Merrick Brett and Mondli Khumalo then put on a brief fight as their saw-ball-hit-ball nature took them to a 51 run partnership. Brett and Khumalo tried using the bounce on offer but varied their line and length which subsequently meant there were a few loose balls upfront, with first change bowler van Vuuren going for 16 in one over.The spinners Parsons and Odirile Modimokoane then came on and in their first over took a wicket each to slow the onslaught.
