2nd ODI: Markram’s Ton, Breetzke And Brevis Fifties Help SA Beat India By Four Wickets, Level Series
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: A superb century by Aiden Markram, along with breezy fifties from Matthew Breetzke and Dewald Brevis, helped South Africa pull off a mammoth chase of 359 and beat India by four wickets to level the three-game series 1-1 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday.
After centuries by Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad propelled India to 358/5 in 50 overs, Markram anchored the pursuit with a superb 110 off 98 balls, while Breetzke’s fluent 68 and Dewald Brevis’ enterprising 54 provided the middle-order muscle to complete the chase with four balls to spare.
Markram’s century was the fulcrum of the Proteas chase, built on partnerships of 101 and 70 with Temba Bavuma and Breetzke, and capitalised on being dropped on 53 by Yashasvi Jaiswal to the fullest. Breetzke and Brevis then stitched together a 92-run stand for the fourth wicket to keep South Africa ahead of the asking rate in dewy conditions, as India made costly lapses with the ball and in the field.
