SOUTH AFRICA TOUR OF INDIA, 2022Klaasen 81 powers South Africa to 2-0 leadby Cricbuzz Staff • Published onKlaasen resurrected South Africa after the early loss of wickets. He did so with aplomb in a stroke-filled 46-ball 81 that helped South Africa overhaul India's 148 on a tricky surface in Cuttack for a 2-0 series lead. Those three overs effectively changed the complexion of the chase, with South Africa bringing down the required rate from 9.2 to a very obtainable 60 off 48. Bavuma, who made 35, played an equally important hand in the fourth-wicket stand of 64 given South Africa were playing a specialist batter short.
