T20 World Cup: Simple Middle-overs Bowling Plan Helped South Africa Prevail Over Nepal, Says Markram
T20 World Cup Group: South Africa skipper Aiden Markram said replicating the bowling plan of 'simple middle-overs' in the last five overs helped the Proteas prevail over Nepal by one run in their thrilling Men’s T20 World Cup Group D game at the Arnos Vale Stadium.
Nepal needed 31 runs off 39 balls with eight wickets in hand to pull off a shock win over South Africa. But Markram & Co managed to pull things back to secure a one-run win over Nepal and emerge successful in their defence of 116.
The left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi took 4-19, while pacer Ottniel Baartman conceded only six runs in the final over, where he stuck to bowling on a good length, and used the odd short ball to surprise the batters.
