T20 WC: ‘Quite Hard To Sum That All Up,’ Says SA Captain Markram After Team’s Double Super Over Escape Vs AFG
In a Group D thriller at the Narendra Modi Stadium, South Africa posted 187/6 after a commanding 116-run opening stand between Quinton de Kock (59) and Ryan Rickleton (61). Afghanistan, powered by Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s blistering 84, matched the total to force a super over. The first super over ended tied at 17 before David Miller and Tristan Stubbs blasted 23 in the second. Keshav Maharaj then held his nerve as Afghanistan finished on 19/2, sealing a memorable victory for the Proteas.
"It's quite hard to sum that all up there. Suppose, it's a tough competition - teams put you under immense pressure. And I think, when you start putting yourselves under pressure, then you are gonna make life really hard for yourselves. So a couple of lessons that we can learn. Not at our best in a few areas which is suppose exciting. There's a room for improvement, that we can be better and ultimately you are grateful for the win and for the points,” Markram said after the game, trying to process the rollercoaster finish.
