Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller with their sensational 222-run stand in the fourth ODI against Australia on Friday at Centurion gave harrowing times to Australian players. Both batters took on Australian bowlers to smash them all over the ground. Both batters drove South Africa to the mammoth total of 416/5 in (50) overs. This is also South Africa's seventh ODI total exceeding 400. What garnered the attention was the top-notch batting led by explosive batter Heinrich Klaasen who scored 174 off 83 deliveries. Klaasen hammered his hundred in 57 balls. Klaasen's 57-ball century is also the second-fastest in ODIs against Australia. Klaasen's (150) became the fourth-fastest in ODIs. Australia's bowler Adam Zampa remained the most expensive bowler for Australia after leaking (113) runs from his ten over. Adam Zampa equalled the record of former Australian bowler Mick Lewis of having joint-most expensive bowling figures.
