De Kock has not been able to play any big innings in this World Cup so far and has performed disappointingly with the bat. However, he played a brilliant half-century innings against America and with this he has made a big record in his name. Let us tell you that Quinton's bat had not worked so far in the group stage because the African team played most of its matches in New York, where the conditions were not favorable for the batsmen. In such a situation, he failed to perform well with the bat but he played a brilliant innings only after leaving New York.

The left-handed batsman gave a great start to the African team, which came out to bat first in this match against the USA. He faced 40 balls in this match and scored 74 runs with the help of 7 fours and 5 sixes. It was the result of his excellent innings that the African team was able to reach a huge score of 194 runs. The 31-year-old has scored more than 50 runs 16 times in T20I cricket and with this he has made a big record for Africa.

Actually, this is the 16th time Quinton has scored more than 50 in T20 cricket and with this he has become the first African player to do so. Earlier he was sharing this record with Reeza Hendricks, who had done this feat 15 times. However, the left-handed batsman has now surpassed him and has taken this big record in his name. Former African captain Faf du Plessis is at the third place in this list, who had done this feat 11 times during his entire career. However, Quinton de Kock has now gone ahead in this matter.
