In the ongoing World Cup 2023 clash between South Africa and Australia at the Ekana Stadium, Quinton de Kock's dismissal was a moment of unexpected drama. The stage was set for a gripping encounter, and the home crowd was buzzing with excitement as the explosive South African opener looked in fantastic form.

In the 34th over, Glenn Maxwell, known for his all-round brilliance, produced a magical delivery that ultimately led to de Kock's downfall. 

Watch the video here:

Maxwell persistently built pressure with a series of dot balls, prompting de Kock to attempt a bold move. The left-handed batsman decided to improvise and executed a reverse sweep over point, attempting to break free from the shackles of dot balls. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side this time.

The ball ricocheted off de Kock's arm and body, deflecting onto the base of the stumps. It was a strange dismissal, and Quinton de Kock's expression revealed his disappointment. He knew he was in prime form, and this was a miscalculated moment.
