“I Dont Think It’s a Great Selling Product”: Heinrich Klassen

ICC Men’s World Cup 2024 was started on June 1 and running successfully with the matches recently on June 10, Sunday, South Africa and Bangladesh had a clash against each other.

Heinrich Klassen who is the power hitter for South Africa, stated that bowlers would prefer to stay but all the top hitters would like to get out of Nassau County ground.

Klassen after the game between Bangladesh and South Africa, talking about the Nassau County Ground pitch conditions in the Post-match Press conference said,

“Yes, I think David showed us in the previous game how to bat on this wicket and it’s almost a similar way that we bat in the middle of a one-day game. So, our mindset is not even close to T20 cricket.

You just want to get in and find a way to bat at a run-a-ball. And we know you’re one or two hits away just for going over the run-a-ball strike rate.”

“I saw India and Pakistan yesterday. Even two great teams struggled to get to 120. So that just means that we have to change our mindset completely. You can’t just stand there and smack it all over the park.

So, we had more or less of a one-day mindset today. So, David was in the middle, and that seemed to be working. And then the last three overs, we looked to take the game on a little bit more T20 style,” he added.

“I think all the batters are keen to get out of this place, to be fair. The bowlers would love to stay here but – no we’ve done our job that was the goal to win three out of three here.

It was a little bit harder than we thought, but that’s also good preparation for going into the next phase of this competition.

We’ve dealt with pressure very well in these three games and it’s always a good experience you can put it in a notebook and always go back when the tough times are there again,” he concluded.

After the clash against Bangladesh, South Africa will now face Nepal on June 15 at St. Vincent.
