Three days after the Proteas edged out New Zealand in a thrilling Rugby World Cup final, Quinton de Kock and Rassie Van der Dussen brought cricket back to prominence in South Africa, with their scintillating hundreds ensuring a 190-run hammering of the Kiwis in the 2023 World Cup Cup in Pune on Wednesday. De Kock (114 off 116 balls) hit his fourth century of the tournament to go level with Kumar Sangakkara, who achieved the feat in the 2015 edition, while Van der Dussen blazed away to a 118-ball 133 as South Africa racked up an imposing 357 for four after being asked to bat first. In reply, New Zealand were bowled out for 167 in 35.3 overs. With the win, the Proteas have displaced India at the top of the points table following the win. Both are on 12 points, though India have played one game less.
