Joining the party, Paul James played a blinder, scoring 46 off 18 deliveries, smashing five sixes and two boundaries in the process as the Proteas finished on 397/5 in their 50 overs, their highest-ever total in ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup history and the eighth best overall.
Tanzania’s response with the bat was rather meek as they lost four wickets inside the first ten overs with just 13 runs on the board.
Mohammedi Mbaki offered brief resistance but there was no stopping the South African bowlers who ran through the Tanzanian batting order to record a massive victory.
This was South Africa’s largest margin of victory (by runs) in ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup history and the second largest overall in the tournament’s history.
South Africa face West Indies in their next game on Thursday while Tanzania take on Afghanistan on Wednesday.
