"Sauce": Aiden Markram Gets Praise From South Africa Greats After Heroic Century In WTC Final
Cricketing fraternity, especially from South Africa, lauded Aiden Markram for his historic century at Lord's during the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia on Friday. A historic century from Markram, the first-ever by a Proteas player in an ICC tournament final and his unbeaten century stand with skipper Temba Bavuma helped South Africa come closer to their maiden ICC world title glory as they ended the day three of the WTC final in a remarkable fashion, scripting a memorable comeback in what has been a spectacular see-saw match. Former England skipper Michael Vaughan lauded the knock, calling it a "special innings" and terming the year as one for the "underdogs". "What a special innings by Aidan Markram .. At the most important time against a world-class attack he has produced one of the finest tons in a final ..This is a huge moment for a S.A. Cricket .. 2025 is certainly the year of the underdog.. maybe that will continue for the Ashes," posted Vaughan on X. What a special innings by Aidan Markram ..

MPL: Bhopal Leopards & Jabalpur Royal Lions match abandoned due to rain
Gwalior: The second match of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) Scindia Cup between Bhopal Leopards and Jabalpur Royal Lions at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium remained unfinished due to persistent rain. Both teams received one point each as a result of the weather-affected match. The game could not advance beyond the first innings. Jabalpur's decision to field first after winning the toss appeared advantageous. Jabalpur Royal Lions displayed tactical awareness by choosing to bowl first. Their decision proved fruitful as Bhopal Leopards struggled early in their innings. The powerplay overs were particularly challenging for Bhopal, who lost three crucial wickets whilst scoring 55 runs. The match highlighted some notable performances and setbacks. The much-anticipated return of IPL player Aniket Verma was brief, managing only a solitary six. This was a stark contrast to his previous MPL season's dominant display as the leading run-scorer and six-hitter. Bhopal's batting lineup faced further pressure when half their side was dismissed with just 90 runs on the board. However, Madhav Tiwari, recently signed by Delhi Capitals, demonstrated his worth with a composed knock. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Normanton: People Born 1945-1975 Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Read More Undo His unbeaten 31 runs from 20 balls helped stabilise the innings. The weather intervention came when Bhopal reached 130 for 6 in 16 overs. The officials waited patiently for 90 minutes, hoping for conditions to improve. However, the persistent rainfall left no choice but to abandon the match. Following tournament regulations, both teams were awarded one point each. This outcome, while not ideal for either side, maintains their position in the league standings. The match served as a reminder of cricket's dependence on weather conditions, despite the best preparations and talents on display. The abandonment also means both teams will need to make the most of their remaining fixtures to strengthen their position in the tournament.
