Jordan Hermann scored 150 on Wednesday in his one-day international debut for South Africa, who beat Namibia by 99 runs in a rain-shortened first ODI between the countries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Opener Hermann and Tony de Zorzi put on 190 for the second wicket in Windhoek and the visitors posted 348-6 off 50 overs after being put in to bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rain forced two interruptions to the Namibia reply and, set 262 in 31 overs to win under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, they could only reach 162-8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It has been a memorable four days for left-hand batter Hermann, whose career-best Twenty20 knock of 53 on Sunday helped South Africa win a tri-series final against Zimbabwe in Namibia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After fellow opener Connor Esterhuizen fell for 10, Hermann and De Zorzi tormented the Namibian bowlers at one of the venues for the 2027 ODI Men's Cricket World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hermann faced 126 deliveries and hit three sixes and 17 fours. The 72 runs of De Zorzi included a six and seven fours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A soft, lofted shot by Hermann off South Africa-born quick Ruben Trumpelmann proved his undoing as Louren Steenkamp took a catch at extra cover.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
De Zorzi was trapped leg before by Gerhard Erasmus after a long appeal and an even longer wait before the umpire raised his finger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After a 51-run first wicket stand between Malan Kruger (34) and Alexander Busing-Volschenk (15), Namibia battled with spinner Prenelan Subrayen (4-29) inflicting most damage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief scores<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n South Africa 348-6 in 50 overs (J. Hermann 150, T. de Zorzi 72; R. Trumpelmann 4-68) v Namibia 162-8 in 31 overs (M. Kruger 34, J.J. Smit 31; P. Subrayen 4-29, K. Maphaka 2-32)<\/p>\r\n\r\n Result: South Africa won by 99 runs under Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method<\/p>\r\n\r\n Toss: Namibia<\/p>\r\n",
