Markram: SA closer to full potential after NZ win
South Africa cruise to a seven-wicket win over New Zealand, moving closer to the Super 8s as Markram shines with a captain's knock.
South Africa captain Aiden Markram says his side moved a lot closer to playing to their full potential after outclassing New Zealand by seven wickets to edge nearer to the Super 8s in the T20 World Cup. South Africa restricted NZ to 175 on what Markram felt was a surface capable of producing a 200-plus total, before completing the chase comfortably. "Definitely a lot closer to the fullest potential tonight. I thought pretty much all areas were really good," Markram said after the win. The surface played well and got better as the night went on, he added, a testament to the bowlers' ability to read conditions and execute their variations with conviction.
