T20 World Cup: Klassen's Final Ball Run-out Ends Nepal's Super Eight Dream
ICC T20 World Cup: Heinrich Klassen's decisive run-out of the final delivery secured a nail-biting one-run victory for South Africa against Nepal, ending the Asian side's hopes of advancing to the Super Eight stage in the Ground D match of the ICC T20 World Cup at the St. Vincent Stadium.
Needing two runs from the last ball to stay alive in the tournament, Nepal's Gulsan Jha was run out at the non-striker's end by Klaasen, preventing what seemed like an inevitable Super Over. It was a heartbreaking end for Nepal, who had outperformed South Africa for much of the match.
Nepal's spinners had dominated, restricting South Africa to a modest 115/7. The South African innings was anchored by opener Reeza Hendricks, who scored 43 runs, while Tristan Stubbs was the only other batter to cross a strike rate of 100, finishing unbeaten on 27 off 18 balls. Nepal's bowlers, Kushal Bhurtel and Dipendra Singh Airee, were exceptional, sharing seven wickets between them and keeping the Proteas' batters in check.
