A clinical Aiden Markram led the way with his fifth T20I half century as South Africa backed up their bowlers’ efforts on Tuesday by beating the West Indies by eight wickets in the 2021 T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium.

Markram put up an unbeaten 83-run stand for the third wicket with Rassie Van der Dussen, who steadied the innings after South Africa lost captain Temba Bavuma in the first over of the match. Van der Dussen put up 57 for the second wicket with Reeza Hendricks after which Markram’s 26-ball 51 led South Africa over the line.Markram hit four sixes and two fours. He leveled scores with a six over midwicket off Andre Russell and then took a single that ended the match.

West Indies fail to get going

Pretorius dismissed Chris Gayle just as the West Indies were starting to try and accelerate. He then got the wickets of West Indies captain Kieron Pollard and Hayden Walsh jr. in the last over of the West Indies innings.

West Indies seemed to prioritize conserving wickets in the first 10 overs in a reaction to their disastrous batting performance in their first match of the tournament against England. Openers Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons ensured that they didn’t lose a wicket in the first 10 overs but the latter struggled to get going. While Lewis hit six sixes in his 35-ball 56, Simmons scored just 16 off as many deliveries, failing to find the boundary throughout his innings.

Pollard and Gayle then seemed gearing up for putting on a display of their trademark big hitting with the likes of Andre Russell and Shimron Hetmyer to come. However, Gayle fell to Pretorius, breaking a 32-run partnership that came off 24 balls after which South Africa remained on top.
