Quinton de Kock has been bowled by Lasith Malinga for 25 off 18 deliveries in the ICC World T20 2014 Group 1 clash at Chittagong on March 22.

De Kock scored the first boundary in South Africa’s innings in the second over. Angelo Mathews bowled one short and wide and de Kock cut that in front of point for a four. In the third over bowled by Nuwan Kulasekara, de Kock let loose. First he drove a length delivery over wide mid-on for a four.

Kulasekara then bowled one on the pads and de Kock went down on one knee and smashed it over the deep square-leg boundary for a six. The next ball was full and wide and de Kock came forward and struck it through cover for a four. Sachithra Senanayake was brought into the attack in the fourth over, but de Kock hit a short and wide delivery through cover-point for a four.

Malinga was then brought into the attack in the fifth over and he struck immediately with a darting yorker that broke de Kock’s defence.
