Devon batted again looking to set the school team a target and then leave enough time to take the 10 wickets to win the game. Devons innings started well with the in form Mikey Cooper adding to his tour tally so far with a well made 32. Kazi Szymanski showed his skills of application and intent to score at the crease manovering a well made 64 before falling to Nelspruits crafty off spinner Du Plooy. Others made starts of 10s and 12s but no other Devon batters really managed to make their mark on the game. Devon were eventually bowled out for 160.
As temperatures soared to a whopping 41Degrees, Nelspruit required 167 to win in 46 overs.
