Champions Trophy: Van Der Dus, Klaasen Hit Fifties As South Africa Beat England By Seven Wickets
Heinrich Klaasen: Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen hit fifties each while sharing a stand of 127 runs off 122 balls as South Africa beat England by seven wickets to end as Group B toppers in the 2025 Champions Trophy match at the National Stadium here on Saturday. After pace all-rounders Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen picked three wickets each to bowl out England for a dismal 179 all out in 38.2 overs, van der Dussen was steady in his 72 not out off 87 balls, laced with six fours and three sixes.
Klaasen, on the other hand, hit a quick 56-ball 64, including 11 boundaries, to play a crucial hand in another clinical win for South Africa, who completed the chase in 29.1 overs.
South Africa will now have to wait to find out whether they will face India or New Zealand in their semifinal. England, meanwhile, made a dismal exit from the competition after suffering three defeats in as many games, with Jos Buttler's final game as the side’s captain ending in a crushing defeat.
