World Cup History: Top three most expensive overs in the tournament

#2 Jason Holder to AB de Villiers - 34 runs

AB de Villers

South Africa had lost their previous match against India and were determined to turn things around against West Indies. This time it was the South African skipper who led from the front as he scored a match winning 162 of 66 balls.

Jason Holder came to bowl the 48th over of the innings and it was the West Indies skipper who was at the receiving end this time. The first ball was fuller in length and around off, AB de Villiers cleared his front leg and lofted it to the long-on fence for a four. The next ball was a no-ball, he went down on one knee and scooped it over the fine-leg boundary for a six. The third delivery went for only 2 runs.

Holder lost his footing once more and bowled another no ball and Mr. 360 smashed it to the deep backward square leg fence for a boundary. De Villiers capitalized on the free hit ball and smashed it for a four. The fifth ball went for another boundary. The final ball was hit over the deep mid wicket fence for a six, making it the second most expensive over in World Cup history.

De Villiers' stellar effort took the Proteas to a mammoth total of 408. The West Indies were bundled out for 151 runs and South Africa won the match by 257 runs
