T20 World Cup: 'Fortunate To Have Lost The Toss...', Says Markram After SA's Win Over Afghanistan
T20 World Cup: After sealing the Men's T20 World Cup final with a nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan, South Africa skipper Aiden Markram stated that his side was fortunate to lose the toss. He admitted that if he had won the toss, he would have chosen to bat first as well.
Asked to bowl first, South Africa hit their straps early by claiming eight wickets inside the first 10 overs of the innings and restricted Afghanistan to a latry total of 56 in 11.5 overs.
In response, despite the early wicket of Quinton de Kock (5), claimed by Fazalhaq Farooqi (1/11), Reeza Hendricks (29*) and Aiden Markram (23) extinguished any Afghan threat to chase down the target inside nine overs, sealing their first ever Men's World Cup final.
