Markram Masterclass Gives South Africa Easy Win Over West Indies In 1st T20I
Aiden Markram led from the front as South Africa thrashed West Indies by nine wickets in the first T20I at Boland Park.
The skipper smashed a career-best 86 not out off 47 balls, studded with nine fours and three sixes, as the hosts chased 173 with ease. An opening stand of 83 with Lhuan-dre Pretorius laid the foundation before Ryan Rickelton added an unbeaten 40.
Earlier, Shimron Hetmyer’s 48 was the lone resistance for West Indies, who faltered after the powerplay. Left-arm spinner George Linde starred with three for 25, sealing a dominant win ahead of the T20 World Cup.
