Men's ODI World Cup: It was like breathing in hot air, says Klaasen of the conditions in which he blasted 109 against England
On Saturday, he struck his third ODI hundred of the year -- an incredible 67-ball 109 that took the game from England and set up South Africa's 229-run victory in Match 20 of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.

Pandya has been ruled out of India's match against New Zealand after injuring his left ankle in their previous match against Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

Men's ODI WC: Batting first would have been a better decision, says Jos Buttler after England's 229-run defeat
Buttler chose to field first after winning the toss, hoping to restrict South Africa to a manageable score and then chasing the score easily in the dew-laden conditions. But fielding in the hot and humid conditions with temperatures around 32 degrees and humidity 90 per cent, England's players were totally drained and disheartened that batting proved an onerous task.
Men’s ODI WC: Rahul's really kept superbly in this tournament; batted really well, says Dravid

Men’s ODI WC: India favourites to win World Cup no matter what happens against New Zealand, says Ross Taylor
“Getting off to a good start in the competition has been particularly crucial because New Zealand have a tough streak of games coming up, beginning with India on Sunday. India in their home conditions are a different beast and they have started unsurprisingly strongly – I see them as favourites to win the competition at this stage, no matter what happens in Dharamshala tomorrow,” wrote Taylor in his column for the ICC on Saturday.
Men’s ODI WC: To get the score that we did from the position we're in was really satisfying, says Latham on fightback against Afghanistan
But stand-in captain Tom Latham (68) and Glenn Phillips (71) took time before unleashing themselves on the Afghanistan bowling attack to share a 144-run stand for the fifth wicket to take New Zealand to 288-6, a total enough to get their fourth win on the trot.
