but klaasen

ODI World Cup:  Informed just five minutes before the toss that he will be playing his first match in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023, Reeza Hendricks struck a superb half-century that laid the foundation for South Africa's big score against England at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

Hendricks was thrown into deep waters after skipper Temba Bavuma pulled out due to illness in a crucial match after South Africa suffered an embarrassing defeat against minnows the Netherlands. He came out with flying colours as he along with Rossie van der Dussen (60) set the foundation for South Africa's massive score,

The 34-year-old Hendricks scored a 75-ball 85 and added 121 runs for the second wicket with van der Dussen after South Africa lost opener Quinton de Kock (4) on the second ball of the match.
