In the ODI World Cup 2023‘s league stage match against Australia at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium, South Africa opener Quinton de Kock 𓆏delivered another stellar performance as he scored his second successive cen🌄tury of the tournament.

Australia’s squad adjustments and South Africa’s spin enhancement:

The game witnessed Australia’s strategic changes as they won the toss and elected to field first on a relatively untested pitch against the South African squad in the Cricket World Cup. Australia made two notable substitutions to their lineup, with wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey making way for Josh Inglis, and all-rounder Marcus Stoinis returning after recovering from a hamstring injury, replacing the struggling Cameron Green. On the other hand, South Africa opted to bolster their spin bowling by introducing left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in place of fast bowler Gerald Coetzee.
