After cleaning up the Aussie batting, South Africa requires 282 runs to win their maiden WTC title. The Proteas lost their top-order batsman Rickelton in the third over. Then, experienced Aiden Markram stood hard in the final.
He collaborates a 61-run stand with Wiaan Mulder for the second wicket. But, the right-hander continuously shows the temperament on the crease. He keeps the circulation of the runs on the board with his skipper. They still stand out with a 142-run partnership.
Aiden Markram smashed a hundred with 11 boundaries and remained on 102* at the close of the session. With both batter’s support, South Africa finishes the day on a score of 213 in the loss of 2 wickets. Proteas required 69 additional runs to win their first Test Championship.
