Jordan Hermann’s record knock leads Proteas to victory over Namibia
Top-order batter Jordan Hermann recovered after being given an early chance, paving the way to South Africa’s 99-run victory over Namibia on the DLS method in the first ever one-day international (ODI) game between the two sides in Windhoek on Wednesday.
After De Zorzi was dismissed, Hermann went on to rack up 150 off 126, equalling the world record for the highest score on ODI debut which was achieved by countryman Matthew Breetzke against New Zealand in February last year.
