Ryan Rickelton dismissed first ball as South Africa struggles against New Zealand in T20 World Cup semi-final. De Kock falls to offspinner McConchie for fourth time in tournament.

South Africa's Ryan Rickelton was dismissed for a duck on his first ball in the T20 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. The batsman slashed a long hop straight to backward point, walking off shaking his head in disappointment.

Earlier, opener De Kock was dismissed by offspinner Cole McConchie after hitting a majestic four. The batsman skipped down to hit the ball but pulled the next delivery high in the air, caught easily at mid-on by Lockie Ferguson. This marks the fourth time in this World Cup that De Kock has been out to an offspinner.
