ODI World Cup 2023: Best XI of Second Week
Following the second week's cricketing action, it's time to take a look at the performance of the 11 players who will form the best team.
2. Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock is one of the leading run-scorers in the tournament so far, with 229 runs in three matches at a magnificent strike rate of 108.01. The Protea player is in stunning form in this competition as he exuded confidence in the first two games scoring centuries.
Following the century against Sri Lanka in his team’s maiden game, De Kock took Australia’s bowling attack to the cleaners in Lucknow. At the toss, the Aussie skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and invited South Africa to bat first. De Kock gave a perfect start to his team and made Cummins regret his decision.
The stylish opener never looked troubled against the Aussie bowlers and went on to score his second ton of this World Cup. He winded up his innings on 108 off 106 and his knock played a vital role in taking South Africa to a score of 311 runs in 50 overs. South Africa folded the Aussies on 177 and registered a convincing 134-run win. De Kock received the Player of the Match award for his spunky innings.
