NEW DELHI: South African batsman Heinrich Klaasen considers his scorching century against the defending champions, England, as one of his finest performances. He played a pivotal role in his team's massive 229-run victory in the World Cup match in Mumbai.
Klaasen displayed his power-hitting prowess by scoring 109 runs off 67 balls. His remarkable partnership of 151 runs for the sixth wicket with Marco Jansen was instrumental in South Africa's imposing total of 399 for seven in their 50 overs. This stunning performance ultimately led to a record-breaking defeat for England in one-day internationals as they were bowled out for just 170 runs in response.
