Heinrich Klaasen came in to bat for South Africa when the team was not in a very stable position. He and skipper Aiden Markram were slowly piling up the inning for the Proteas, but Markram was later dismissed by Reece Topley for 42 runs

Later, Marco Jansen joined Klaasen to stabilize South Africa's inning. They played amazing strokes in the middle and seemed to be set for the Proteas. Marco Jansen was sensibly converting the dot balls into runs for his team to put on a respectable target against England

The duo after getting set looked impossible to bowl as they entertained Mumbai's Wankhede crowd with their massive boundaries

Heinrich Klaasen played an entertaining knock by completing his century against England. He bashed England bowlers for 109 runs in just 67 balls including 12 fours and 4 sixes. The Wankhede Stadium attracted a big crowd on Saturday and the chants of Klaasen, Klaasen reverberated the iconic Wankhede. To make a positive impact on the environment while enhancing the fans' experience who turned out in huge numbers, Coca-Cola installed Reverse Vending Machines (RVM) across the stadium. These machines allow the audience to efficiently recycle cartons, cans, and bottles. There was a positive behavioural change among fans, who were seen disposing of the waste in the designated bins placed within the stands. The role of Saafai-Saathis is instrumental in keeping the cricket stadiums clean by collecting and helping recycle plastic waste

Marco Jansen accompanied Klassen and went on to score 75 runs in just 42 balls including 3 fours and 6 sixes. Klaasen and Jansen's knocks helped South Africa to post a target of 400 runs against England
