South Africa were powered to the gigantic score by centuries from captain Muhammad Bulbulia and Jason Rowles. The score of 397/5 also surpassed South Africa's previous U-19 World Cup record of 359/6 against Namibia in 2012 and eclipsed Sri Lanka's 391 against Japan made earlier in this edition of the competition.

It stands as the eighth highest score overall since the tournament's inception. Bulbulia scored a run-a-ball 108 while Rowles remained unbeaten on 125 off 101 balls, a knock laced with ten fours and five sixes, as the pair put together a 201-run third-wicket partnership that left the Tanzanian bowling attack dazed.

South Africa's openers laid the foundation for the huge total with Jorich van Schalkwyk's quick-fire 47 off 34 balls and his opening partner Mogamat Lagadien contributing 32 before Bulbulia and Rowles seized control of the innings.

The commanding performance comes after South Africa suffered a tournament opening 28-run defeat to Afghanistan. Tanzania now faces the daunting task of chasing down the target in what shapes as a one-sided contest. South Africa will next face West Indies in their final Group D game at the same venue on January 22.
