King Edward Old Boy Van Jaarsveld leads Dolphins to Momentum win!

King Edward VII School Old Boy Vaughn van Jaarsveld hit 91 off 73 balls as the Dolphins (311-8) thrashed the Knights (183) by 128 runs in Bloemfontein. Vaughn van Jaarsveld strode to the crease with the Dolphins three down to join Cody Chetty and they both looked immediately comfortable.

They stroked the ball all around the ground and managed to lift the run-rate above five to the over. In the 34th over, the partnership came to an end as a Du Preez delivery kept low and bowled Chetty for a well-played 30 from his 39 balls faced. The in-form David Miller joined Van Jaarsveld and they took full advantage of the mandatory power-play from overs 35-40. The 39th over was the highlight as the pair hit 21 runs from the over.

In the 40th over, Van Jaarsveld brought up a well deserved 50 from 44 deliveries, including eight fours. The power-play cost the Knights 50 runs. Robbie Frylinck and Van Jaarsveld continued the onslaught before the Knights were finally able to see the back of Van Jaarsveld when, in search of boundaries, he was caught by Rilee Rossouw for 91 from 73 balls from a McLaren delivery in the 49th over. The bonus-point win leapfrogs the Dolphins ahead of the Knights on the Momentum One Day Cup log.

Congratulations to Vaughn on his great knock and an innings that showed his class, talent and determination to succeed. King Edward Community wishes him plenty more such innings and much success into the rest of the Momentum Tournament.
