South Africa struggles to keep up with India in T20 World Cup: De Kock and Stubbs show impressive form, but setbacks continue to hinder their chase

Aiden Markram edged behind off Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, resulting in quick wickets for India in the early stages of the South Africa innings. Despite this setback, Quinton de Kock continued his fine form and put on a partnership of 58 runs with Tristan Stubbs off just 38 balls. Unfortunately for South Africa, Stubbs was bowled by Axar Patel for 31, bringing Heinrich Klaasen to the crease with the team still needing over 100 runs to win. De Kock’s valiant effort came to an end when he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep’s bowling for 39 runs. This wicket dealt a blow to South Africa’s chase as they struggled to keep up with the required run rate.
