Aiden Markram hit the fastest World Cup hundred as South Africa made 428-5 - the highest score in the tournament's history - against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
David Miller then took the score beyond the previous record of Australia's 417-6 against Afghanistan in 2015. Matheesha Pathirana conceded 26 runs from the 43rd over, with the seamer's 10 overs costing 95 for one wicket. Van der Dussen, who was dropped at backward point on 71, scored all around the wicket, including reverse sweeps to the spinners.
That brought in Markram, whose innings began with glorious straight drives before becoming increasingly brutal as he struck 14 fours and three sixes.
