“The boys adapted really well” – South Africa captain Aiden Markram on win over England in Champions Trophy game

South Africa’s stand-in captain Aiden Markram credited his side following their win over England in their last Champions Trophy 2025 group-stage match. He said in the post-match show (via ESPNcricinfo):

"I thought the boys were really good. The wicket was quite slow, slower than we expected. The boys adapted really well. Kept trying to hold a length for as long as they could. We took wickets throughout.”

Markram reserved special praise for Marco Jansen and Heinrich Klassen following their performances, adding:

“[Jansen?] He's been huge for us. We all know in the Powerplay, especially in conditions like this, you need to be taking wickets up front. He's been peaking at the right time for us. [Klaasen?] Always great to see him out in the middle. He's been in a ridiculous patch of form over the last many months.”

Apart from South Africa, Australia is the other team to qualify for the semifinals from Group B. Meanwhile, India and New Zealand have qualified for the last four from Group A. The two teams will lock horns in the last group-stage clash in Dubai on Sunday, March 2.
