UPDATE - follow-up to Esterhuizen maiden ODI ton, Duan Jansen four-for power South Africa to 2-0 lead: South Africa has taken a decisive 2-0 lead in the ODI series against Namibia after a dominant win at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The Proteas, without opening batsman Heino De Vries, batted first and posted a total of 439/9, led by Aiden Markram's 82 and Reeza Hendricks' 81. Namibia's chase was short-lived, with their innings ending at 256 in 38.4 overs, thanks to a brilliant performance from fast bowler Duan Jansen, who took four wickets for 43 runs. In response, Namibia's top scorer, Jan Frylinck, said 'We were well set, but our middle order failed us. We were expecting a bigger total from the Proteas, but their batting was too strong.' The Proteas' victory has lifted their chances of qualifying for the 2024 ICC Cricket World Cup.
