A century from Heinrich Klaasen helps guide the Proteas to win the first One Day International against Australia in Paarl.PAARL - A maiden international century by Heinrich Klaasen set up a 74-run win for South Africa in the first one-day international against Australia at Boland Park on Saturday.
Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne put on 84 for Australia's third wicket after the early loss of opening batsman Aaron Finch and David Warner, both dismissed by Lungi Ngidi, who finished with three for 30. "That was the difference between the teams," said Australian captain Finch."Klaasen and Miller batted really well. When you have a couple of batters going deep – they scored something like 81 runs in the last ten overs." It was actually 82 but it proved crucial.
