Markram Rues ‘small Margins’ After Maxwell Powers Australia To Series Win
South Africa: South Africa captain Aiden Markram admitted his side fell short by “small margins” after Glenn Maxwell’s unbeaten 62 inspired Australia to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the deciding T20I at Cazalys Stadium on Saturday, sealing the series 2-1 for the hosts
“Good game of cricket, ended up on the wrong side unfortunately. Small margins. Not enough on the board tonight, but we fought well with the ball. Not the way we wanted to end, but still some good things to take from this series,” Markram said after the match
Chasing 173, Australia were reeling at 122/6 when Maxwell took charge, smashing eight fours and two sixes in a 36-ball rescue act. He held his nerve to hit the winning runs off the penultimate delivery, sending the sell-out Cairns crowd into raptures during the venue’s first-ever men’s T20I. Earlier, captain Mitchell Marsh had struck a 37-ball 54, adding 66 with Travis Head to give Australia early momentum.
