South Africa flew into the Cricket World Cup a little under the radar but the awesome range of their power hitting has seen the side post the top three scores in the tournament, which stand-in captain Aiden Markram puts down to their adaptability.
South Africa stand-in skipper Aiden Markram believes the soon-to-retire wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock is a "free-spirited guy" who should be allowed "to fly". The explosive lefthander smashed 174 off 140 balls, his third century in five innings, to propel South Africa to 382/5 against Bangladesh before the Proteas sealed a thumping 149-run win on Tuesday. De Kock's century was complemented by fifties from Heinrich Klaasen (90; 49b) and Markram (60; 69b) as South Africa racked up 144 in the final 10 overs.
After Bangladesh suffered its fourth loss in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, captain Shakib Al Hasan backed his side to return to winning ways and admitted his team had no answer to Heinrich Klaasen's brutal late-hitting. South Africa's massive first-innings total of 382/5 at the Wankhede Stadium was driven by Quinton de Kock's 20th ODI century and some stormy late hitting from Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. The Proteas also garnered a massive net run rate boost with another emphatic 149-run win over Bangladesh.
Following South Africa's 149-run win against Bangladesh in the 23rd match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock lavished praise on Heinrich Klaasen, who played a steller 90 runs knock, and said that he has just been special in the tournament. While speaking at the post-match conference, De Kock said that every South African player played well in the match against Bangladesh.
