WTC Final: It Would Mean Everything, Says Maharaj On WTC Glory
With just 69 runs needed and eight wickets in hand going into Day 4, South Africa are within touching distance of their first ICC men’s trophy since 1998. At stumps on Day 3, they stood at 213/2 thanks to a masterful unbeaten partnership between Aiden Markram and skipper Temba Bavuma, a stand worth 143 that has tilted the match decisively in their favour.
“It would mean everything,” said a visibly moved Maharaj while speaking to ICC Digital. “Not just us (the players) out there or the fans here, but to everyone back home. To see how long it's taken for this country to hold some sort of ICC final trophy in their hands... I'm sorry, I'm getting a bit teary-eyed, but I think it would be a privilege to be a part of, because we faced a lot as our country. And to see it come—well not to get ahead, but to nearly get there—is a very special feeling. So special.”
