AFG against SA – Champions Trophy – Heinrich Klaasen misses Afghan game as a precaution against the left -wing elbow injury

There were no Heinrich Klaasen or Tristan Stubbs in South Africa’s team leaf for the Champions Trophy game against Afghanistan in Karachi on Friday afternoon, and CSA confirmed that Klaasen “was excluded as a precaution due to a violation of the left Elbow”. Stubbs was not a candidate for the first choice XI anyway.

South Africa, who won the litter and asked Afghanistan, still had an impressive impact structure, with Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi above and Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram and David Miller in the middle and the all -rounder Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen at seven and eight.

But Klaasen is one of her big players and the formal player in Odis. In the four Odis, which he had played in the past few months, all against Pakistan – at home at the end of last year and then those in the Tri series before the Champions Trophy – his scores 86 in 97 balls, 97 in 74 balls, 81 In 43 balls and in the last game 87 in 56 balls.

In total, he achieved an average of 44.12 from 54 Odi -innings – in which he achieved 2074 runs – and beats 117.44. It is crucial that Klaasen keeps an eye on the venues of the Champions trophy, and has had a strike rate of 125.31 against spinners in Odis since the beginning of 2020, while they achieve an average of 57 runs-per-disciplines against this type of bowling.

Among the 97 batteries that were exposed to more than 500 balls during this time, the hit rate of Klaasen is the highest and conveniently better than the next best – Rohit Sharma 111.59. In this game, South Africa against Afghanistan will probably be exposed to at least 20 over Spin with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad under the Frontline -Bowers and Mohammad Nabi in the mix.

The next Champions Trophy game South Africa is against Australia on February 25th in Rawalpindi.
