SA vs AUS: Heinrich Klaasen hits 174, highest ODI score by No. 5 batter
South Africa batter Heinrich Klaasen smashed a record-breaking 174 off just 83 deliveries against Australia in the fourth ODI at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday.
Klaasen’s 174, comprising 13 sixes and as many fours, set the record for the highest score by a number five batter in ODI cricket as South Africa posted a mammoth 416 for five in 50 overs after being sent into bat.

Australia, leading the series 2-1, had reduced the host to 194 for four in 34.1 overs before Klaasen and David Miller joined for a destructive partnership. Klaasen cruised through to a 57-ball hundred before switching gears in the company of Miller, who finished unbeaten on 82 off 45 deliveries.

The duo were particularly abrasive on leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who ended up with figures of none for 113 in 10 overs – the joint-worst ODI bowling figures ever.

Australia concedes 416 runs to South Africa
Australia has generally been in good form in recent weeks. Having won the first two ODIs, South Africa came back to win the third game. Hence, it was interesting to see how South Africa would go about in the fourth encounter. They were excellent in the first inning, with the Proteas getting yet another total above 400. This is carnage from Klaasen 174(83) & Miller 82*(45) in the must win game against Australia.

However, it was also down to Australia’s poor bowling effort that led to this outcome. Firstly, the management did not have a good team combination. They were forced to use Marcus Stoinis as the fifth bowler and this is something that would have surely been discussed by the opposition. The likes of Tim David and Mitchell Marsh also did not bowl, which was further surprising. Adam Zampa also equalled the record for most runs given away in an ODI spell.
