ODI World Cup:  South Africa's bowlers came up with a clinical performance after opener Quinton de Kock struck his third century in five matches, a 140-ball 174, while Heinrich Klassen blasted a 49-ball 90 to help their team beat Bangladesh by 149 runs in Match 23 of ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.

Electing to bat first, South Africa had slumped to 30/2 in the Power-play before de Kock, with help from skipper Aiden Markram (60) and Klassen (90 off 49 balls), not only guided them to safety but put up a massive score of 382/5 in 50 overs.

Led by de Kock and Klaasen, South Africa unleashed carnage in the last 10 overs, amassing 144 runs. David Miller belted an unbeaten 34 off 15 balls to further boost the South Africa innings.
