Klaasen and Maxwell Vs pace
Both the players are known for tackling spin with ease and are known as spin bashers. However, if we look at their record from 40-50 overs against spin, then it is clear that Maxwell wins this bout.
The Aussie all-rounder strikes at almost 180, and has hit 31 sixes in 38 innings. On the other hand, Klaasen's strike rate is excellent (165.7) but it is nowhere close to Maxwell and hence, the Aussie star wins this round.
However, against pace, Klaasen has better numbers , striking at 175, as compared to 165.6 by Maxi.

In the death overs in ICC World Cups, Maxwell has shown his dominance however, his superior strike rate over the Proteas batter just makes him better in ICC events .
Conclusion Overall in death overs, Klaasen is a touch better than Maxwell , however when we compare the other criteria, there is nothing to separate the two . Against spin, Maxwell is a better player, whereas Klaasen is excellent Vs pace bowlers.
However, in ICC tournaments, Maxwell has way better numbers and since he has delivered in the big stage, he barely edges past Klaasen as a better finisher.
