Though South Africa’s Aiden Markram played a match-winning knock of 91, the real heroes of the Proteas’s one-wicket win over Pakistan on Friday night were three bowlers—Keshav Maharaj (7 not out off 21 balls), Tabraiz Shamsi (4 not out off 6 balls) and Lungi Ngidi (4 off 14 balls). They displayed tremendous temperament under pressure and showed guts when it was needed the most to win the battle with 16 balls to spare.
