Jason Rowles scored a 101-ball 125 and captain Muhammed Bulbulia tonked a run-a-ball 108 to build South Africa’s exceptional innings against Tanzania in Windhoek. They added 201 off 176 for the third wicket. Once Bulbulia was dismissed, Paul James arrived with big intentions, slamming 46 off just 18 balls with two fours and five sixes. With contributions from the openers too, South Africa finished with 397 for 5 – their highest ever total in U19 World Cup history. They went on to cap of a historic day like this with a gargantuan win – by 329 runs as Tanzania folded for 68 in chase. All five of South Africa’s bowlers were among the wickets, with Rowles and Buyanda Majola bagging two each.
