NEW DELHI: South Africa captain Aiden Markram credited spinner Keshav Maharaj's decisive performance for their narrow 4-run victory over Bangladesh in a nail-biting encounter. The match, held during a crucial phase of the tournament, saw South Africa defending a modest total of 113 runs.
The game reached a dramatic climax as Bangladesh, chasing 114, needed just six runs from the final two balls. Maharaj, tasked with defending 11 runs in the last over, bowled a full toss that seemed destined for the boundary. Mahmudullah, on strike, seized the opportunity with a powerful swing, but Markram's sharp catch near the boundary line turned the game on its head.
