Men's ODI WC: De Kock's Blistering 174, Klaasen's Blazing 90 Help South Africa Post 382/5 Against Bangladesh
ODI World Cup: Opener Quinton de Kock struck his third century in five matches, a 140-ball 174, while Heinrich Klassen nearly got his second ton in a row before getting out for 90 as South Africa posted a massive 382/5 in 50 overs 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 them in a great position to secure their fourth win in the tournament.
De Kock, who started his World Cup campaign with a 100 in the opener against Sri Lanka on October 7 and followed it up with a 109 against Australia a few days later, capitalised on the good batting strip in hot and humid conditions, slamming 15 boundaries and seven maximums during an innings of pure class.
