The South African cricket team has ended 27 years of ICC World Test Championship trophy drought after beating the defending champions, Australia in London on Saturday afternoon.
Even though they had reached multiple World Cup playoffs in recent years, the Proteas had not secured a title since winning the Champions Trophy tournament in 1998.
It was Markram who hit a century in South Africa’s second innings, which guided the team to a five-wicket victory.
Resuming on 213 for the loss of two wickets in pursuit of 282 for victory, the Proteas lost two wickets fairly early on. But opening batsman Aiden Markram, who put on 147 runs for the third wicket with Bavuma, took his team to within six runs of victory.
“We’ve got ourselves in the final, where there were doubters as to the route that we had to take when we won against so-called weaker teams. We are happy that we were able to perform like this, and hopefully that squashes that. I think for us as a country, here’s an opportunity for us as divided as we are at times to forget all of that, rejoice in that moment, and just be one. I’m sure the people will be celebrating it with us and you can trust that we will be celebrating,” says an elated captain, Temba Bavuma.
