South Africa power to win over Wales in World Cup opener

South Africa won the toss and their decision to bat certainly paid off as they blasted 408 for six in their 45 overs in Guyana.

Brandon Buckley (134) and Christaan Ritter (126) both hit centuries with Owain Hopkins taking 2-69 for Wales, who were bowled out for 156 in reply.

Robert Franklin top scored with an unbeaten 45 while Northop’s Sion Morris, batting at number three, added 22.

Wales, for whom Marchwiel and Wrexham’s Iroshan De Silva will be hoping for a start, face the Rest of the World tomorrow.

England opened with a 134-run win over the United States and they followed this up 24 hours later by nailing New Zealand by 129 runs.

England face Scotland tomorrow while South Africa play host nation, West Indies.

Tomorrow’s other fixtures: Australia v Canada; New Zealand v USA; Rest of the Caribbean v India.
