CricketHeinrich Klaasen slams quickfire ton as South Africa makes record chase to level series.

Srinagar: Heinrich Klaasen smashed one of the fastest ever ODI tons as South Africa made record chase as they beat West Indies by four wickets in the third and final ODI to level the series in Potchefstroom on Tuesday.

A stunning onslaught from Heinrich Klaasen meant that South Africa took just 29.3 overs to chase down the target of 261 in Potchefstroom on Tuesday.

Klaasen walked in at 73/3 and took off immediately, racing to 21 off just 12 balls. He completed his half-century off just 30 balls, but sped up even further post that.

The hundred came off just 54 balls as South Africa, in a precarious situation after the dismissal of David Miller, raced to the target with Marco Jansen forging a useful stand with Klaasen.

The South African wicketkeeper remained unbeaten on 119 off just 61 balls as South Africa scaled the target in less than 30 overs, a rare record in ODIs.

No team had ever chased down a target of 250 or more in less than 30 overs before this.

The closest any side came to this feat was when India chased down a revised target of 255, also against West Indies, off 32.3 overs in Port of Spain in 2019.
