Lucknow Super Giants Opener Quinton de Kock Finds Form with SA20 Half-Century

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star Quinton De Kock has hit a purple patch in the SA20 2025-26, delivering a match-winning performance for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The veteran opener scored a fluent 77 in a dominant victory over the Pretoria Capitals, helping his team secure a crucial bonus-point win and climb to the top of the SA20 standings.

De Kock’s innings was the cornerstone of the Sunrisers’ total, built on a blistering 116-run partnership with Matthew Breetzke. This performance follows another strong showing earlier in the tournament where he scored 42 against the Paarl Royals. His consistent form at the top of the order is excellent news for the LSG management, who rely heavily on his explosive starts in the IPL.

Adam Milne, the Sunrisers pacer, complemented De Kock's batting heroics with a four-wicket haul, sealing a dominant all-round display. As the IPL season approaches, De Kock’s ability to convert starts into big scores in high-pressure franchise leagues confirms his readiness to anchor the Super Giants’ batting lineup.
