Jordan Hermann equals Matthew Breetzke’s ODI debut record against Namibia
Jordan Hermann now jointly holds the highest score by a player on ODI debut with Proteas teammate Matthew Breetzke.
Jordan Hermann narrowly missed breaking the record for the most runs scored by a player in their ODI debut, falling just short of Matthew Breetzke's mark. On Wednesday, the Proteas ODI debutant scored an impressive 150 runs, matching the record held by Breetzke, who had previously broken the previous record set by Desmond Haynes in 1978.
Breetzke's record was then surpassed by another South African just over a year later. However, Hermann, partnering with Tony de Zorzi, reached the 150-run milestone in his ODI debut against Namibia, but fell short of breaking Breetzke's record. Hermann's innings, including 17 fours and three sixes, set the stage for a big score, but his timely departure allowed a mini-collapse by the Proteas.
Despite this setback, Corbin Bosch's unbeaten 39 off 24 balls, including three sixes, helped the Proteas reach a competitive total of 348/6. Namibia now faces the daunting task of chasing down 349 to claim an historic victory.
