Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Proteas need 26 more runs to win this one and they still have six wickets in hand. Today they lost another wickets but Aiden Markram remains not out at 126 runs. He hit 13 fours in this innings and his strike rate is 63. This is one of the best innings of his life where he kept this nerves and make sure he don't loses his wicket.
The new ball is due in the next four overs or so but i don't think it will make any difference now. South Africa will be hoping to make the most of the remaining runs before this new ball is due.

What a historic moment for South Africa cricket, their first major win in any ICC tournament since 1998. Aiden Markram who has done the job for South Africa was not able to play the winning short as he was bowled out 6 runs short of winning the title. In second innings, the 147 runs partnership between Temba Bavuma and Markram helped South Africa in winning the ICC world championship title. Through this win South Africa proves that they are no more choker and they can win finals of big tournaments.
Finally, the best moment in the history of South Africa. They got the title of World Test Champions under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma and man, they deserved it. Aiden Markram could not finished not out, but still 136 from this was the main reason for this SA win. He is the Player Of the Match too.
The final was entertaining to watch, but the only thing missing was that it finished too early, with almost five sessions still left in the game. It was all a bowler's game, and South Africa played well in the last innings.
