Bishops stormed into the finals of SA Schools T20 competition with an easy seven wicket win over Graeme College from Makanda in the semi final of the National Tournament being played at the Tuks Oval Pretoria.
It capped a fine display by the team from Cape Town who earlier in the day put the skids under St David's from Johannesburg chasing down 168 in 18 overs winning in convincing fashion with wickets remaining.
It was a stellar innings by the SA under 19 opener Adnaan Lagadien that piloted them to victory. He bludgeoned 89 off only 58 balls smashing 7x4 and 5x6 and was the mainstay of the innings. Against Graeme College the target was less challenging as the Eastern Cape struggled to get on top of a disciplined Bishops attack.
The Bishops quick bowlers Waco Bassic 1/12 and Michael Kruiskamp 1/33 applied early pressure.
They lost an early wicket with only four runs on the board when Kruiskamp got rid of Enrique Strydom 1.
