ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE FINALISTS: JEPPE HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Jeppe High School for Boys, making their Switch Schools SA20 debut in Volume 2, have progressed all the way to the Final of the competition where they will face St Andrew's School from Bloemfontein on Saturday morning (Tuks Oval, 09:30, live on SuperSport Channel 216 and SuperSport Schools App).
Thanks to the luck of the draw, Saturday's Final will be the boys in black's fourth straight match on Tuks Oval, which should give them the sense of 'home' advantage.
They've built their Finals campaign on solid contributions from the batters led by Vegas Scott's 118 runs, while captain Ryan Young has shared the bowling responsibility among nine of his squad with the spin trio of Zizi Mkhize, Reza Ayob and Shreshth Kumar playing key roles in both containing and dismissing opposition batters.
