Going into the match De Kock had scored at least 50 in six of his last seven innings for South Africa and been dismissed within 20 runs of a hundred in five of them.

Quinton de Kock of South Africa hits the ball hard during the third One Day International Series game between the Proteas and Sri Lanka at Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban on March 10 2019.Just days ago Quinton de Kock lamented not turning sturdy scores into centuries in recent innings, but he remedied the situation emphatically at Kingsmead on Sunday.

That meant the Lankans had to score 118 off the last eight overs, and they slumped to 121/5 to make South Africa winners by 71 runs and give them the series 3-0 with two games to play. De Kock dominated all three partnerships he batted in, and once he was dismissed David Miller kept a steady hand on proceedings in his unbeaten 41.

Still, South Africa looked set for a far bigger total when De Kock was dismissed, and the fact that they forged as far as they did past 300 was thanks to Andile Phehlukwayo.
