New Zealand's Rickelton Opens with Quick Six in Semi-Final

In the T20 World Cup semi‑final in Kolkata, New Zealand’s Ryan Rickelton struck a quick six off the first ball, a long hop to backward point, before walking off shaking his head. South Africa’s opener Quinton de Kock hit a majestic four but was caught high on the next delivery by Lockie Ferguson, marking the fourth time in the tournament that de Kock has been dismissed by an off‑spinner.

New Zealand’s off‑spinner Cole McConchie took the new ball for the second time in the competition, and his plan paid off early in the match.
