Australia vs. South Africa ODI World Cup 2023: De Kock’s Blistering Century Propels South Africa to Dominant 134-Run Win
In a thrilling encounter at the ODI World Cup 2023, Quinton de Kock’s explosive century and a superb three-wicket performance by Kagiso Rabada guided South Africa to a commanding 134-run victory over Australia. Opting to bat first, South Africa capitalized on de Kock’s brilliant ton and Aiden Markram’s quickfire 56 off 44 balls to set a challenging total of 311 for seven in their allotted 50 overs. In response, the Australian team was bundled out for just 177 runs in 40.5 overs, with Kagiso Rabada impressively claiming three wickets for a mere 33 runs.
De Kock’s sensational knock of 109 off 106 balls at the Ekana Stadium was a key highlight of the match.Shamsi gets onto the scorebook as Cummins falls looking to take on the wrong’un. Looked to hit it straight, ended up skewing it to long-off. Two balls later, Hazlewood top-edges a slog that’s taken by Rabada running to his right from short midwicket. South Africa are two wins in two. Australia, meanwhile, have slumped to their second straight loss.
