In a riveting T20 World Cup clash, Quinton de Kock's electrifying 74 off just 40 balls paved the way for South Africa's commanding performance against the USA. Set on a slow pitch, De Kock's audacious innings defied expectations as he laid the groundwork for an imposing 195-run target.

De Kock's fireworks, which included a swift 26-ball fifty, brought much-needed momentum and paired well with Aiden Markram's fluent 46. Despite early setbacks, South Africa's top-order bounce-back was instrumental in their total of 194 for four in the allotted 20 overs.

The final overs saw Heinrich Klaasen (36 not out) and Tristan Stubbs (20 not out) further consolidating the innings, adding 53 unbeaten runs for the fifth wicket. De Kock's assault, including an over which saw 28 runs off Jasdeep Singh, set the stage for a thrilling contest.
