Born in Virginia, a gold mining town in Orange Free State Province,[1] van der Berg's sole recorded match came for an Orange Free State Country Districts side during the 1992–93 South African season.[2] Played in early October 1992, the game came during that season's edition of the Total Power Series, a limited-overs knockout competition which, from the 1989–90 season, had included "country districts" sides in the first round in order to bolster the number of teams.[3] Orange Free State Country Districts met Northern Transvaal in the first round, in what was to be the side's only match at List-A level.[4] With his side batting first, van der Berg was dismissed for a duck coming in third in the batting order, bowled by a future South African ODI player, Mike Rindel.[5] He bowled two overs of right-arm off spin in Northern Transvaal's innings, as they went on to win easily, by eight wickets.[6]
