It was spinner Bosman who turned the game around by taking three wickets in the 37th over, taking his three wickets soon after being caught wrong-balled by Bandile Mbatha on the last ball of Vaughan’s previous over, which had hit six fours in the 37th over.
Bosman’s crucial over was bowled by Joe Moores attempting a lap sweep, before Harry Moore was stumped by the quick hands of Hansen. Bosman then stopped Eddie Jack’s return catch and saw that the catch fell to him and he staggered and fell to the ground.
South Africa made a solid start as Adnan Lagadian and Chad Mason added 49 runs for the first wicket, before Hansen took charge of the attack with a half-century off 46 balls.
The Young Lions made a comeback through Warwickshire spinner Ali, who took 3 for 51, but the hosts needed only seven more when Hansen had Alex Green caught by wicketkeeper Thomas Reeve on 57.
The two-youth Test series begins on January 27 at the Kortzenberg Cricket Club in Stellenbosch.
