South Africa proved to be too good with the bat as Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen didn't twitch from their gameplan despite losing two early wickets against Pakistan in a massive run-chase of 207 runs. The Proteas took a 2-0 unassailable lead after getting home with three balls to spare.
SA20 auction 2025: Six teams picked the players they wanted in the SA20 auction 2025 ahead of the third season of the tournament. MI Cape Town made the most expensive purchase of the auction, roping in the opener Reeza Hendricks for a sum of R4.30m.
South Africa are not having the best of the times in the UAE having lost the ODI series to Afghanistan last week and now being forced to level the two-match series against Ireland. Ireland scripted history achieving their first-ever victory in T20Is against the Proteas in their seventh attempt.
This series was supposed to serve as an ideal preparation for both teams in the lead-up to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, its clash with the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League has deprived it of star attraction.
The decision to replace Hendricks with Klaasen comes after fast bowler Lungi Ngidi and former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis threw their weight behind the Black Lives Matter movement.
