    "editor1": "<p><strong>Durban, Feb 15:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has bagged the record for scoring the fastest half-century in T20I cricket for South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Friday night, de Kock played a brilliant knock of 22-ball 65 (2 fours and 8 sixes) against England in the second T20I against England at Kingsmead. The south paw reached the 50-run mark in 17 balls. However, his efforts went in vain as the Proteas lost the match by two runs, while chasing 205 against the Three Lions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>AB de Villiers and de Kock earlier held the record for South Africa as they both had scored 50 in 21 balls in different games in 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, the 27-year-old finds himself joint 6th in the list which is led by former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who had scored a 12-ball 50 against England in the 2007 World T20. Miza Hasan of Australia comes second in the list after he scored a 13-ball 50 against Luxembourg in 2019. Colin Munro (14) comes third and is followed by Faisal Khan (15), Shai Hope (16).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ireland&#39;s Paul Stirling, Netherlands&#39; Stephan Myburgh and West Indies&#39; Chris Gayle are all tied at the sixth spot with De Kock, having scored their respective half-centuries in 17 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>de Kock, who is currently leading South Africa in the limited-overs format, has so far scored 1,114 runs in 40 T20Is with five half centuries.<\/p>\r\n",
