De Kock Dismissed by McConchie in T20 Semi

South Africa's Quinton de Kock was dismissed for the fourth time in the T20 World Cup after falling victim to offspinner Cole McConchie's strategy.

South Africa's Quinton de Kock was caught at mid-on by Lockie Ferguson after McConchie, taking the new ball for only the second time in the competition, executed a successful plan. The dismissal came just after Ryan Rickelton was dismissed for two balls in a row, with both batsmen failing to capitalize on their opportunities.

The offspin strategy has proven particularly effective against de Kock throughout the tournament, with this being the fourth time he has been dismissed to an offspinner in the World Cup, putting South Africa on the back foot in their crucial semi-final against New Zealand.
