Abbott collects the ball (thrown by van Wyk) and scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Mohammad Nawaz run out (Kyle Abbott) 23(11) [4s-2 6s-2]

18.5

Rashid Khan to de Kock, SIX, oh my lord! This man! This genius. Goes for the reverse stance again and powers it over deep cover. One of the world's best in this format bowling to him and de Kock is having a nonchalant time. Does a bowler's reputation matter to this pint sized dynamite?
18.4

Rashid Khan to de Kock, SIX, goes for the reverse switch again and this time it goes the distance. Rashid is being treated with disdain

Kyle Abbott to Mohammad Nawaz, FOUR, goes for the pull and gets a massive top-edge. Two fielders at deep square left it for each other it seems, the ball lands just short of the fence to go away

Kyle Abbott to de Kock, FOUR, slams the drive down the ground for a four. That was hit hard! The man at long-on had no chance

Maharaj to Mohammad Nawaz, SIX, kaboom! Charges out and slams the ball over long-off. That stays hit. Superb but of hitting from Mohammad Nawaz. Got to the pitch of the ball and smoked it

W
Klaasen to Behardien, out Caught by Miller!! Goes for the slog sweep and finds the man at long-on. Tried employing power on it but failed to time it. The man at long-on does not commit the same mistakes as his mates and gulps this down. Behardien c Miller b Klaasen 17(18)
15.3
Klaasen to de Kock, no run, another drop! Bokako at short third man drops a dolly. Elementary mistake. And de Kock was half way down the track and has to dive back in. The keeper whipped the bails off but de Kock dives in

F
Maharaj to de Kock, FOUR, and fifty for the dynamite. He has exploded again. Shredding his opponent blow by blow. That was short, de Kock stamped back and pulls it between long-on and deep mid for a four
12.5

Maharaj to de Kock, FOUR, what was that? He changes his stance and becomes a right-hander. Then hacks the ball away and gets it past point for a four. Whatta an entertainer!!!
12.3
Maharaj to de Kock, 1 run, fails to get to the pitch of the ball and still goes through with the shot to find deep mid. The fielder came in and got to it but failed to pouch it. Rashid Khan is the culprit. de Kock survives. Game changing moment?

Maharaj to Asif Ali, out Caught by Zondo!! The 41-run partnership has been broken. Asif Ali gets down on a knee and unleashes the slog sweep. Doesn't get the required elevation against this fullish ball and finds the deep mid-wicket fielder. A straightforward catch for Zondo. Asif Ali c Zondo b Maharaj 18(13) [4s-2 6s-1]

Tladi Bokako to de Kock, FOUR, excellent shot! A low full toss, meant to be the yorker, de Kock moves leg-side and opens the bat-face to squeeze it between short third man and backward point
9.2
6
Tladi Bokako to de Kock, SIX, that's a monstrous hit! A leg-stump half-volley, de Kock bends his back leg and flicks it powerfully over long leg. Poor ball and that was suitably punished
9.1

Tladi Bokako to de Kock, FOUR, moves leg-side, in the process moves leg-side to lift this length ball over a leaping mid-off. Well wide of him

de Lange to Asif Ali, SIX, pitched up wide of off, Asif Ali launches it downtown with a slightly crouched stance. Bludgeoned high and over long-off. 13 off the over!

de Lange to Asif Ali, FOUR, length ball, Asif Ali stands tall and heaves it behind square on the leg-side. Slightly off the inside edge, but gets the desired result

de Lange to Phehlukwayo, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Phehlukwayo has been bounced out. A head-high bumper and Phehlukwayo wasn't in control of his shot. The ball got big on him and the left-hander persisted with his pull shot, only it miscue and hole out at deep backward square leg. Phehlukwayo's scratchy knock comes to an end. Phehlukwayo c Rashid Khan b de Lange 10(15) [4s-1]

de Lange to de Kock, FOUR, wow! Brilliantly done. Pacy shortish ball just outside off, de Kock waits for the ball, arches his back and periscopes it wide and over short third man. A one-bounce four
3.2
W
Kyle Abbott to Malan, out Caught by Maharaj!! A wonderful catch from Maharaj. Malan shuffles across to hoick across the line. It was an away-angler from a good length. The ball sliced up off the outside edge and went up a long way. Three fielders converged, but it looked like it'd fall safely. However, Maharaj had other ideas. He initially ran to his right and then forward to complete a diving-forward catch. Malan c Maharaj b Kyle Abbott 3(6)

Kyle Abbott to de Kock, FOUR, that's a shot of a man in form. Wasn't a half-volley, de Kock converted it into one by walking down the pitch. Follows it with a loft over wide mid-on. One bounce and into the fence. First boundary for QdK

Rashid Khan to Janneman Malan, out Bowled!! There's the breakthrough! A googly from Rashid Khan which completely bamboozles Malan. He shuffled across to defend and didn't expect the ball to spin in. It turned in sharply and quickly to knock down the leg-stump after beating the inside edge. Rashid Khan is underway! Janneman Malan b Rashid Khan 0(2)
