When the South African cricket team, known for its aggressive batting in T20 cricket, scored 113 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs against Bangladesh in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, everyone was surprised to see their score.

In this match played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first, which did not prove to be good for them. Fans once again got to see a low scoring match between the two teams here.

Whereas South Africa, which scores 200 runs in T20 cricket in a jiffy, was seen struggling to score runs in this match. South Africa lost the wickets of four of its top order batsmen in the powerplay itself.

After this, the stormy hard hitter Heinrich Klaasen, who came to bat, had to bat very patiently. In the match, he played an innings of 46 runs in 44 balls. So now T20 cricket is being played like ODI cricket, Klaasen has given a big statement on his innings.

Heinrich Klaasen made a big statement

Let us tell you that regarding South Africa’s slow batting in the middle overs against Bangladesh, Heinrich Klaasen said – I think David Miller showed us in the last match how to bat on this wicket. This is just the way we bat in ODI cricket.

Klaasen further said- Our mindset in the middle order against Bangladesh was nowhere near T20 cricket. When you go to the field, you want to find a way to score one run per ball. You know that you are just one or two hits away from going above the run-ball strike rate.
