Quinton de Kock’s phenomenal hundred helped seal a historic run chase in the second T20I as South Africa level the series. De Kocks set the tone early in the run chase and if he stays for too long, it’s a nightmare for the bowlers.

When every bowler was belted around the park, Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the bowlers for South Africa. Rabada though didn’t pick up a wicket, he helped keep a check on the run flow and went under 10 runs per over.

Johnson Charles’s century was overshadowed by Quinton de Kock’s 100, which came in a winning cause. Charles was all over South African bowlers in the game, having belted 11 sixes and 10 boundaries in his sublime innings off 118.
Brandon King is a top-class opener for West Indies. He helped get off the blocks quickly in the 1st T20I and that helped West Indies seal the game and go 1-0 up. He’s too good a player to leave out in your Dream11 side.
