T20 World Cup: In a thrilling finale of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa fell just seven runs short of securing their first major ICC trophy at the senior level, as India clinched their second T20 World Cup title.

South Africa's captain Aiden Markram was visibly emotional and at a loss for words after the match. Despite the heartbreak, Markram expressed immense pride in his team's journey and their valiant effort throughout the tournament. "It will take some time for us to reflect on this excellent campaign," Markram stated after the match. "The bowlers did well, despite not having much help from the pitch. It all came down to the wire, and even though it didn't go our way, I'm incredibly proud of my players."

Markram emphasised the indomitable spirit his team displayed, mentioning, "In most of our games, it wasn't over till the last ball. We proved we were worthy finalists, but it just didn't happen today. One thing is guaranteed: we will be known as people who are grounded but very good fighters, and that is a proud moment for us."
