The reigning champions were absolutely dismantled in Mumbai England are on the precipice of being dumped out of the Cricket World Cup after suffering a record 229-run defeat to South Africa on a chastening evening in Mumbai on Saturday. The holders had already lost twice in the tournament so far, to New Zealand and Afghanistan, but briefly looked primed to bounce back when Quinton de Kock was removed with the second delivery of the day.
Klaasen produced a remarkable batting performance in extreme heat Ultimately that late flurry was in vain and the team were all out for just 170 runs, marking a 229-run defeat – their worst ever in ODI history, while it ranks 21st among the biggest defeats ever. Their previous biggest defeat came against Australia at the MCG in November 2021, when they were thrashed by 221 runs and slumped to a 3-0 series loss, but this will be infinitely more painful.
