Bavuma battles hamstring to Ship in WTC Remaining
Watching curiously, South African batters Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram noticed the umpires change the ball after persistent pleas from the Australian fielders. For the defending champions, clinging precariously to their title, this ball change was a determined final hope. A brand new ball usually brings a shift in momentum on these pitches, however not this time. Bavuma and Markram held agency, guiding their crew to 213 for two at stumps, needing simply 69 extra runs to realize their nation’s most celebrated cricket victory.
