Cricket: Dippenaar shines in exciting finale

Boeta Dippenaar made his intentions quite clear to the National Selectors by scoring a career-best 113 to help South Africa A win a thrilling game against New Zealand A at SuperSport Park in Centurion in the last encounter of the three-match series.

Dippenaar, passing 4,000 List A career runs, went to his fourth limited-overs hundred with an array of glorious cover drives before being trapped lbw by Kerry Walmsley. Coming to the crease with South Africa in trouble, he showed his experience with a well-paced innings, accelerating when needed, and hitting 13 fours and two sixes along the way.
