Quinton de Kock has scored 69 runs off 48 balls in the second T20. He looked in great touch during his innings and will look to keep the momentum going in the third T20I as well.

David Miller played an outstanding knock of 106 from just 47 balls in the second T20I against India but failed to take his side home.
