Connor Esterhuizen's maiden ODI century powers SA to massive win

Connor Esterhuizen's maiden ODI century and a four-wicket haul for Duan Jansen powered South Africa to a 157-run victory over Namibia in the second ODI in Windhoek, sealing the three-match series with one game remaining. Esterhuizen scored 119, while Tony de Zorzi contributed 79 as South Africa posted 335/9 after being asked to bat. Namibia were then bowled out for 178 in 41.5 overs, with Jansen claiming 4 for 31 and Ethan Bosch picking up 3 for 27, while Gerhard Erasmus top-scored for the hosts with 68. Namibia made a disciplined start with the ball, keeping South Africa in check during the first Powerplay. South Africa were 40 for 1 after 10 overs, with Jordan Hermann departing for a 24-ball 20, getting out to Jack Brassell. Esterhuizen, initially watchful against the movement, began to open up after the powerplay, while de Zorzi settled in alongside him.
