A savage knock of 81 by stumper Heinrich Klaasen powered South Africa to a four-wicket win over host India in the second T20 International at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack today. With this win, South Africa took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
Klaasen, who was brought into the South African side as an injury replacement for regular wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock, hit five sixes and seven fours in his 46-ball knock to be awarded as the Man of the Match.
Chasing a modest target of 149, South Africa were in dire straits, losing three wickets for 29 runs. But Klaasen turned the table on India with his explosive batting, especially on a wicket where most batters struggled. He put his team firmly on the path of victory with a partnership of 64 runs for the fourth wicket with captain Temba Bavuma, who made 35.
