England's Fielding Stifles South Africa Despite De Kock's Blitz

South Africa's Quinton de Kock's explosive 65 off 35 deliveries took the team's scoring rate to nearly 10 an over during their T20 World Cup match against England. However, England's exceptional fielding efforts, including crucial wickets and a late charge by David Miller, restricted South Africa to 163 for six.

In a thrilling T20 World Cup encounter, South Africa's impressive start led by Quinton de Kock (65) was neutralized by England's fielding prowess, reducing South Africa to 163 for six in the Super Eights Group 2 match on Friday.

De Kock's explosive innings, filled with boundary-hitting brilliance, had England on the back foot with a scoring rate climbing to nearly 10 an over in the first half. Significant contributors to this effort included Jofra Archer's recovery and Reece Topley's tight spell during the powerplay.

Despite De Kock's aggression, England staged a remarkable comeback, with the turning point being Archer's revenge, facilitated by Jos Buttler's stunning catch. The Proteas lost momentum and regular wickets, with David Miller's 43 off 28 standing as a late resistance to guide South Africa past the 150-mark.
