Men's ODI WC: Klassen Pyrotechnics, Jansen, Hendricks, Van Der Dussen Fifties Help South Africa Hammer England For 399/7
ODI World Cup: Hobbling around with cramps in his legs in hot and humid conditions, Henrich Klassen played one of the best knocks in this event as he blasted a 61-ball century to help South Africa post 399/7 against England in a crucial match of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.
With a sporting crowd chanting his name, Klaasen struck 12 boundaries and four maximums as he blasted 109 runs off 67 balls, and shared a brilliant 151-run partnership with Marco Jansen (75 not out off 42) as South Africa set England a tough chase after being asked to bat first.
Coming in for action after Reeza Hendricks (85) and Rassie van der Dussen (60) along with skipper Aiden Markram (42) had laid the foundation for a big score, Klaasen showed why he has emerged as one of the most destructive middle/lower order batters currently in white-ball cricket as he destroyed England's bowling with an aggressive knock, manufacturing shots with brute force and great timing, and left the bowlers shellshocked.
