Thing is, though, I thought there was an innings limit on pitchers?

It's a pitch count limit:

Q: What are the pitcher use limitations of the tournament?
A: A pitcher must:

Not pitch until a minimum of four days have passed since he last pitched, if he threw 50 or more pitches when he last pitched;
Not pitch until a minimum of one day has passed since he last pitched, if he threw 30 or more pitches when he last pitched;
Not pitch until a minimum of one day has passed since any second consecutive day on which the pitcher pitched; and
Throw no more than:
- 65 pitches per game in Round One of the tournament;
- 80 pitches per game in Round Two of the tournament; and
- 95 pitches per game in the Semifinals and Final of the tournament.
Note: A pitcher may exceed the maximum per-game limits in order to complete a batter's plate appearance.
There are no restrictions on the use of position players.
If a pitcher is within 20 pitches of a prescribed limit at the beginning of an inning, the Game Operations Technical Committee (appointed to each game by WBCI) shall so inform the umpire-in-chief, both managers and the ballpark public address announcer. The Game Operations Technical Committee shall immediately notify the umpire-in-chief when a pitcher has reached a limit set forth in the Rule (which includes finishing a batter's plate appearance, if necessary), whereupon the umpire-in-chief shall inform the pitcher's manager to remove the pitcher from the game immediately.

I thought it was just a pitch limit. 65 actually, so he just got it in.

I thought it was only major leaguers that had the pitch limit. South Africans don't have to follow the rule, do they?
