They made 348-5 in their 50 overs, powered by a stunning unbeaten century from Jordan Hermann. Jayden Lennox was the pick of New Zealand’s bowlers, with 2-36.<\/p>\n The visitors were dealt an early blow in the chase as Tshepo Moreki removed Rhys Mariu in the first over. But opener Dale Phillips and Joe Carter undertook a rebuilding job, putting on 135 for the second wicket before Carter was dismissed for 47. Phillips was the aggressor in the stand, reaching a half-century off 30 deliveries, and making his way to 83 off 59 balls by the time the stand was broken.<\/p>\n Read more: Three matches, four centuries: South African brothers extend prolific run against New Zealand A<\/a><\/p>\n In the company of Muhammad Abbas, Phillips compiled his second List A century, reaching the mark off just 68 balls.
