  • Nandre Burger4-0-27-2

5.12pm Well, that was some breathless hitting. Here's Klaasen. "I felt I didn't get any freebies, had to be patient, then picked the right bowler and the end and something triggered me on the field to get into the battle a bit more. I try to stay one or two hits away from a good strike-rate, I knew Imran needed to be my play. We could have got 220 if I'd pulled the trigger early."

Interesting, he senses they've left a few out there, despite scoring 102 in the last six overs. We can only wait and see. As we all know, it can travel on the Highveld... back shortly for the chase.

Bracewell to Mulder, 2 runs, winds into a huge mow, makes no substantial contact, they hurtle for the suicide single, and get an extra run too as Bracewell can't intercept the keeper's shy. The target of 212 is set!
19.5
6
Bracewell to Mulder, SIX, leg-sided, length ball, swings mightily across the line for a flat six over square leg!

aditya: "it was shown on the screen that klaasen only played 2 dot balls in his whole innings. and that too the second last and last ball, is this some kind of record?" I remember Joe Root doing something similar in another South Africa-orientated contest...

Bracewell to Maharaj, 1 run, biffed across the line, to square leg, just another single

EVVN: "Sam Cook cooked the opposition yesterday and got cooked by klaasen today. Story of bowlers in T20s"

19.3
W
Bracewell to Pretorius, OUT, bowled him! Plays all round the very full length, right at the base of off stump, and a scuffed under-edge into middle. Bracewell is doing the needful here

D Pretorius b Bracewell 3 (5m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

Bracewell to Pretorius, 2 runs, low full toss, thumped through the line, long-on mops up

1w
Bracewell to Pretorius, 1 wide, slower ball outside off, called a wide to Bracewell's displeasure

Krishna: "South Africa is one of the favorites for the T20 WC. A middle order comprising of Markram, Klaasen, Miller is as good as it gets. Add QdK and possibly Faf to open. Rabada, Burger, Nortje, Coetzee as bowlers." Hard to argue, just got to overcome... well, you know.

If Bracewell can do likewise, we might still have a game here

Burger to Pretorius, no run, sharp lift past the splice, that's a fine hand from Burger, he's kept his figures very intact amid the carnage
18.5
1
Burger to Mulder, 1 run, yorker from round the wicket, well bowled, this over has stemmed the tide a touch. Just a single into the covers
18.4
1
Burger to Pretorius, 1 run, outside off, good length, thumped to point, and they burgle the single with some smart backing-up

Trundler : "What is the most thankless task in sport today?Bowling to Klaassen in a T20 game on a belter. I guess that is why the players are so richly compensated."

18.3
W
Burger to Klaasen, OUT, full toss, and holes out to long-off! Dipping on off stump, another mighty thump but doesn't quite get hold of this one. It requires a juggle on the rope from Bracewell as his momentum takes him over the rope, but he pops the chance up for himself, and that's the end of a monstrous knock!

H Klaasen c Bracewell b Burger 74 (52m 30b 3x4 7x6) SR: 246.66

Burger to Klaasen, no run, blockhole ball, jabbed back at the bowler, was that a chance? Looked like a bump-ball but fumbled either way
18.1

Burger to Klaasen, FOUR, round the wicket, what's a bowler to do! Nothing wrong with the ball, other than it strays into an arc that's as wide as the crease. Belted savagely back whence it came!

END OF OVER:
18 | 29 Runs | DSG: 192/4 | RR: 10.66

  • Wiaan Mulder40 (19b)
  • Heinrich Klaasen70 (27b)

Krishna: "I was contemplating sleeping now in Bangalore now. Klaasen is keeping me wide awake."

Cook to Mulder, FOUR, panned over extra cover! Inside-out once more, drilled with a full face through the line. Another 29-run over, and well, 250 seems likelier than not at this rate!
17.5
6
Cook to Mulder, SIX, Pace off, Mulder doesn't get hold of it, but Hendricks has misjudged it! Had he stayed on the rope at long-on, he was on for a simple take, but he rushed in at first and couldn't track back!
17.4
1
Cook to Klaasen, 1 run, Cook escapes from the six sixes threat with a well-directed wide yorker, driven with poise past short cover
17.3
6
Cook to Klaasen, SIX, three from three! Full length, on the toes, wiped over midwicket! Is that another crowd catch? I think it is! Everyone's in the money in this over! Apart from Cook, that is...
17.2
6
Cook to Klaasen, SIX, jeepers, this over is on for a monster! Cook plops it into Klaasen's arc once more, and draws another cuffed drive up and over the overs!
17.1
6
Cook to Klaasen, SIX, full length, and swatted into the sightscreen! Klaasen is batting as if wielding a newspaper at a fly!
