Tanzania are yet to open their account at the U19 World Cup, having lost their first two games against the West Indies and South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tanzania faced a tough challenge in their latest match against the Proteas, who scored an enormous 397\/5, the highest team total ever in the tournament\u2019s history. This also marks South Africa\u2019s highest score in any tournament they have participated in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa reached the feat courtesy of centuries from captain Muhammad Bulbulia and Jason Rowles. The team\u2019s total of 397\/5 broke their previous U-19 World Cup record of 359\/6 set against Namibia in 2012 and also surpassed Sri Lanka's 391 against Japan earlier in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It ranks as the eighth-highest score in the event's history. Bulbulia scored a quick 108 off 108 balls, while Rowles remained not out on 125 from 101 balls, featuring ten fours and five sixes. Their 201-run partnership for the third wicket overwhelmed the Tanzanian bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Even after Bulbulia's dismissal, which came shortly after he reached his century featuring ten fours and a six, South Africa continued their aggressive batting. Paul James contributed a quick 46 runs from only 18 balls, including two fours and five sixes, as the Proteas narrowly missed reaching the 400-run total by just three runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
