Klaasen, Player of the Match: One of my best (knocks) ever, I was hitting the ball nicely, this knock will go down as one of my better ones. It was proper heat, saps all the energy out of you. The heat out there was extreme. They (England) were physically under the pump but a couple of wickets got them back in. Next level (Jansen's knock). This award needs to go to him (Jansen). He kept me going and pumped me up. He has been phenomenal, has been batting so well. The runs he scored were so vital for us. That loss (against Netherlands) was a tough one, but we know we are playing good cricket. One loss doesn't make us a bad team. Had some chats and our boys bounced back with the training sessions. It was a fantastic performance today.

Congratulations to Tapdance for winning the 20th match badge today.

Netherland's each defeat will be more painful for SA than Netherland

How do I describe this? You live by the sword and you slash yourself by the same at times. England have decapitated their chances a little today of a top four finish. The defending champions have been a shadow of themselves from the 2019 WC. But this was a performance very tough to fathom. Yes, 400 was a tough chase. But they just somehow kept hitting to the fielders. SA lifted their game. And it was the ninth wicket pair which added a few enterprising runs as SA lost the plot for a brief period. Else, the margin of win would have been bigger. Earlier, SA batters went berserk. Klaasen and Jansen just ensured in the last part of the game that they outbatted England from the game. They just put it beyond. For sure, 350 looked par. But 400 never looked under threat. Pakistan have donned the mercurial hats for too long. Now, SA seem to be threatening their crown. They were outplayed by a spirited Dutch team. And today SA, who had players waking up from the right side of the bed, just went bonkers. Bavuma didn't play. Hendricks came in and adapted to the opening slot like a duck to water. Wasn't something new for him and he set to up along with RVD after the early dismissal of QDK. England's worries might not end. Their best bowler today - Topley - is injured and his presence for the remaining games might be under the cloud. Stay tuned for the post-match updates...
