De Kock blazes half-century

June 21, 2024 20:31

SA 69-0 (7 Ovs) vs England | Scorecard

The Proteas have shaken off their initial tentativeness and are now flying high!

Adil Rashid came into bowl, but Reeza Hendricks wasn't fazed, punching a single through the covers. De Kock, however, was in an aggressive mood. He confidently defended a delivery before unleashing a clinical cut for another single. De Kock brought up his magnificent fifty in style, the joint-quickest of the tournament so far, in just 22 balls! This is back-to-back fifties for the in-form opener, and he's dealing in boundaries.

Hendricks joined the party with a single, and De Kock kept the momentum going with a couple towards midwicket.

The over ended with another single, taking South Africa to a dominant 69-0 after 7 overs.
