Cricket: South African batsman shatters Youth One Day International record

# Cricket: Jorich van Schalkwyk became the first batter in Youth one-day international, YODI, history to score a double century as South Africa’s Under-19 Men began their tri-series with a thumping 278-run win over hosts Zimbabwe in Harare yesterday. The 18-year-old scored an incredible 215 off 153 balls – 19 fours, 6 sixes – to help his side amass 385. This fine performance is a major confidence boost for South Africa at the start of the series at Sunrise Sports Club, which also involves Bangladesh.
