South Africa faced early setbacks in their T20 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in Kolkata. Ryan Rickelton was dismissed first ball, caught at backward point. The offspinner Cole McConchie, taking the new ball for only the second time in the tournament, then dismissed Quinton de Kock who had hit a four before being caught at mid-on.
This marks the fourth time in the World Cup that de Kock has been out to an offspinner, continuing a pattern that New Zealand has exploited effectively.
