In Case You Missed it: Pakistan's landmark win, de Kock's apology

It's been a series of unexpected events at the T20 World Cup already - Namibia stormed into the Super 12s and promptly beat Scotland, Pakistan's 29-year wait for a World Cup win against India ended, England skittled defending champions West Indies for 55. Drama ensued off field, with Quinton de Kock withdrawing from the South Africa team before their second game, and on field, when old rivals Bangladesh and Sri Lanka took a moment to get in each others' faces. Dive into all the action in our round-up.

Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan break Pakistan's World Cup jinx against India with ten-wicket romp
Shaheen Shah Afridi set the tone for the night with a fiery opening spell in which he claimed both India openers. Osman Samiuddin had warned of the Afridi threat to openers the day before that match, and after the carnage was done, all that was left to ask was, which was the better dismissal - Rohit Sharma's or KL Rahul's? Two ESPNcricinfo correspondents exulted from the sidelines: Matt Roller, who was treated to the spectacle of an India-Pakistan match on an off day, and Danyal Rasool, who couldn't quite believe a dream 29 years in the making had come true.

Why did Quinton de Kock refuse to take a knee?
South Africa beat West Indies in their second World Cup match, but the result was overshadowed by the absence of de Kock, who pulled out just hours before the game when CSA mandated the South Africa team to take the knee together as an antiracism gesture. Firdose Moonda looks beyond the outrage and at the nuances of what his position might have been, while de Kock himself came out and apologised in a statement where he made his stand on the issue clear.
