De Knock hit 109 runs of 106 balls which included 8 fours and 5 sixes. He lost his wicket to Glen Maxwell in the 35<sup>th<\/sup> over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiden Markram supported De Kock by hitting a fine half century 56 off 44 deliveries. His knock included 7 fours and a six. Openers Quinton de Kock and Tempa Bavuma had a 100 run partnership for the first wicket in the first 18 overs. \u00a0Among Australia\u2019s bowlers Mitchel Starc and Glen Maxwell picked up two wickets each. \u00a0Adam Zampa, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood took one wicket each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All eyes are now set on the Australians who lost their opening match in the tournament to India. The Australian team is not only concerned by the defeat but the manner in which they got defeated. Their batting order clearly lacked aggression. Lack of depth in the batting order was also one of the reasons why they struggled against the Indian spin attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BACK TO BACK HUNDREDS BY QUINTON DE KOCK&#8230;.!!!<br><br>What a knock by Quinton &#8211; a World Cup century against Australia.

Adam Zampa was the only spin bowler due to Glen Maxwell\u2019s part time role. The South African team on the other hand has three centurions in their batting lineup\u00a0 Markram, Rassi Van Der Dussan and De kock. After facing large criticism during the IPL, The pitch at the Ekana Cricket stadium has undergone a relaying process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The uncertainity surrounding the pitch makes the match all the more interesting. If the pitch favours the spinners then it will be a big challenge for the Australian team who have not been able to perform very well against spin bowling. South Africa might also include spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in the bowling attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aiden Markram supported De Kock by hitting a fine half century 56 off 44 deliveries.
