3rd Momentum ODI: South Africa v India
The spinners weren't allowed to settle by the Proteas

Just when it looked like the de Villiers dismissal was curtains for South Africa, Heinrich Klaasen walked in with all the confidence in the world and showed the Proteas what they missed with his exceptional handling of the spinners, something he hadn't quite been able to do in the previous match.

He had an uncertain David Miller for company and he was cleaned by Chahal, only for the replays to show that he had overstepped. It turned the 'killer' switch on in Miller and he slogged his way alongside a rampant Klaasen and took it till run a ball before falling to Chahal.

Andile Phehlukwayo, surprisingly promoted above Chris Morris, then smoked the wrist spinners en-route a blistering 5 ball 23.
