In reply, South Africa had a horrible start as they lost 2 wickets inside 5 overs. Opener Tony de Zorzi and Aiden Markram tried to build a partnership but the WI bowlers dismissed both batters inside 2 overs to put South Africa under pressure. However, Henrich Klaasen turned things around with magical innings as he and Jansen stitched a 100-run partnership in just 60 balls to take the game away from the visitors. Klaasen remained unbeaten with 119 in 61 balls as South Africa leveled the 3-match ODI series 1-1.
