WATCH | Klaasen writes himself into the early annals of SA20 with absurdly dominant century

Heinrich Klaasen's unbeaten 104 off just 44 deliveries in Durban Super Giants' 151-run thumping of Pretoria Capitals was so masterfully crafted that it bordered on absurdity.

The increasingly formidable Proteas middle-order technician was in command from the outset after being promoted to No 3, hitting ten fours and six sixes in a display worthy of having a prominent early entry into the history of the fledgling SA20.

He reached his maiden T20 century off just 43 balls, which is easily the quickest of the tournament to date.

Super Giants' total is the fourth-highest on South African soil and the tallest ever recorded at SuperSport Park.

In the greater scheme of things, the victory margin is the second-biggest by runs on South African soil, just behind Sri Lanka's 172-run demolition of Kenya at the Wanderers in the first ever T20 World Cup back in 2007.

All the stats aside, enjoy the highlights of one of the greatest T20 knocks played by a South African.
