South Africa’s star finisher David Miller missed out on the high-octane battle against Pakistan and the batter Heinrich Klaasen replaced him in the playing XI. However, the right-handed batter hit the headlines as he contributed only 15 runs with the bat, in a crucial encounter that Proteas lost eventually.
The batter retained his spot in the next game against Netherlands, when South Africa were in a position to win the match to make it to the semi-finals. While chasing a target of 159, when the Proteas were in deep trouble, Klaasen, who must have held the team together, perished for 21 runs and Temba Bavuma’s men lost it by 13 runs in the end.
