South Africa is in their best form in this tournament. They started the tournament with a bang. In their first match, they registered the highest World Cup Total. In that match, Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram scored a century and put a total of 428 runs on board. It was the highest total in the history of the tournament.
South Africa is facing Bangladesh at Wankhede Stadium. Even in this match, South Africa is in great form. Quinton de Kock scored a century, Markram completed his half-century and Klaasen scored 90. It was a total power-packed innings. Harsha Bhogle talked about this performance. On his social media handle, he wrote, “ That Is Why I said South Africa is the new England…”
South Africa’s Performance:
South Africa is one of the strongest teams in the tournament. After winning the toss, South Africa opted to bat first. South Africa had a decent start. But they lost two early wickets of Hendricks and Rassi van der Dussen. After that, South Africa fought back in the game. Quinton de Kock was the star of the show.
De Kock played an amazing innings of 174 runs in 140 balls. He smashed 15 boundaries and 7 over-boundaries. He batted with a strike rate of 124.29. His inning was decked up with masterclass batting and some excellent shots. Skipper Aiden Markram played an important role in this match. He played a responsible knock of 60 runs in just 69 balls. He smashed 7 boundaries. Heinrich Klaasen played an amazing inning of 90 runs in 49 balls. He smashed 2 boundaries and 8 over-boundaries. They scored 382/5 in 50 overs.
While chasing the runs, Bangladesh had a poor start. Tanzid Hasan scored 12 runs in 17 balls. Litton Das scored 22 runs in 44 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto got out on golden duck. Mahmudullah is batting on 12 runs and Mehidy Hasan is batting on 2 runs. South African bowlers are dominating the opponent. South Africa didn’t feature in any World Cup final in the past. They are in a great form. They have all the possibilities to play in the final.
