Chasing 312 to win in Lucknow, Australia’s top order were throttled by the Proteas pace attack, spearheaded by Lungi Ngidi who gave away only nine runs from his first five overs. Earlier, De Kock made his second successive century, carrying South Africa’s batting line-up to 311/7. After De Kock fell, Aiden Markram played a key role in picking up the pace in the latter stages of the Proteas’ innings, adding 56 runs from 44 deliveries.
