#5 Fastest T20I fifty by a South African batsman

In the last two matches, South Africa have been breaking records for fun. In their previous T20I, AB de Villiers broke the record for the fastest fifty by a South African batsman in T20Is and in the game against England, Quinton de Kock followed in his footsteps as he scored his maiden T20I fifty in just 21 balls to equal the record that has been in AB’s possession for just a matter of days.

What was impressive about de Kock’s knock was that he was out in the 40s six times before he got to his maiden T20I half-century against England. In his blistering knock, the Proteas keeper smashed 7 fours and hit three sixes and ended the innings with a strike rate of 216.66
