Can SA’s golden arm Markram continue India’s horror run?

PROTEAS coach Shukri Conrad may call on the golden arms of captain Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs in the Powerplay for the blockbuster ICC T20 World Cup Super Eights clash against India at Ahmedabad on Sunday.

The makeup of the defending champions' batting lineup with six left-hand batters in their first-choice top eight has almost forced the opposition to bowl plenty of off-spin against them early on.
The Proteas, in their preparation for the rematch of the 2024 T20 World Cup final, would have noticed the success Namibia's Gerhard Erasmus, Pakistan's Saim Ayub and Dutch off-spinner Aryan Dutt have all enjoyed against the hosts.
