The loss did little to dampen the spirits of Markram, with South Africa’s captain believing the side is well placed to go one step further than their runner-up finish behind India at the most recent T20 World Cup in 2024.<\/p>\n
“There was five overs of Powerplay and then basically five overs of death. They played some good shots and got a good score,” Markram said after his side’s DLS loss to the West Indies.<\/p>\n
“We backed ourselves but fell short. It was a good exercise and there was definitely some good stuff to take home tonight.<\/p>\n
“It was a good series with lots of good signs from us. The players are in good form. It is a nice thing to have going to the (T20) World Cup. Exciting times ahead and happy with where the team is at. We have got all bases covered.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The loss did little to dampen the spirits of Markram, with South Africa’s captain believing the side is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,16326,67828,103095,67833,67814,6518,67832,103093,67815,67810,103098,101,103094,103096,67812,56,54,55,103097],"class_list":["post-401925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-headlines","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-icc-mens-t20-world-cup-news","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-icc-announcements","tag-sports","tag-t20-world-cup-news-updates","tag-today-cricket-match-news","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-cup-cricket-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
