The match began with Quinton de Kock looking dangerous, taking 7 runs off Matt Henry’s opening over, including the first four and six of the match. However, the introduction of Cole McConchie in the second over proved decisive. In a stunning display of spin bowling, McConchie dismissed both QDK (1.3 overs) and Rickleton (1.4 overs) on consecutive deliveries. Despite conceding two boundaries in his second over, McConchie’s double-strike left SA reeling.
