He was replaced at the crease by Jordan, his younger brother. Jordan copped a painful blow off the first delivery he faced, as Lister got one to rear up and hit him on the forearm.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter though, he looked untroubled as he set about repairing the innings alongside Rivaldo Moonsamy. The pair put on 159 for the second wicket as Jordan scored a run-a-ball half-century and Moonsamy eventually made 73. Jordan got to a century off 102 balls, his fourth in List A cricket. This was Jordan&#8217;s second century on the trot, after his unbeaten 101 took South Africa A over the line in the previous match.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Both brothers have excelled in this series. In game one, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/cricket-news\/158-out-of-231-proteas-rookie-rubin-hermann-takes-south-africa-a-home-lone-effort-run-chase-against-new-zealand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rubin&#8217;s lone hand, a career-best of 158 not out<\/a>, took South Africa home in a tricky chase, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/cricket-news\/fringe-proteas-batter-notches-second-consecutive-odi-a-hundred-to-build-recall-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">and he set up the second one with 109 before Jordan&#8217;s ton<\/a>. Jordan finished with 186 not out in the third match, also a career-best, and the second time he has crossed 150 in a List A match.<\/p>\n<p>The pair made headlines earlier this year as well, when they each struck a half-century in the same SA20 match, for opposing sides. Jordan also has an SA20 century to his name, for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in 2024.
