Bhuvneshwar Kumar claimed three wickets in the powerplay to reduce South Africa to 29-3 in reply to India’s modest total of 148-6 after being put into bat.
Klaasen, selected after wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock sat out with a hand injury, smashed five sixes and seven fours in his incendiary knock as South Africa romped home with 10 balls remaining.“Klaasen’s was a top knock,” Miller said.Kumar finished with impressive figures of 4-13 but it was not enough to avert their second successive defeat in the five-match series.
