Heinrich Klaasen slammed 174 off 83 balls to lead a South African batting assault against Australia in the fourth ODI at SuperSport Park on Friday. 


Klaasen shared an extraordinary fifth wicket partnership of 222 off only 94 balls with David Miller (82 not out) as South Africa piled up 416 for five, their fifth-highest total in ODIs. Klaasen struck 13 fours and 13 sixes before being caught on the boundary off the last ball of the innings.
