Proteas silence Ahmedabad
The Star

WHEN the Narendra Modi Stadium was commissioned, it was meant to be the coliseum to celebrate all India's pending modern-day cricket achievements.

Instead, the mega Ahmedabad venue is fast becoming a house of horrors for the Indian national team.
After Australia silenced 130 000 fans in the 2023 World Cup final, it was the turn of the Proteas yesterday to turn the mass of concrete into a mortuary. More than 80 000 spectators clad in blue left despondent after the co-hosts' demoralising 76-run defeat in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Super 8 stage.
Instead, it will be remembered as one of the special T20 World Cup nights for the Proteas, as Aiden Markram's team delivered a strong message to the remaining seven teams in the competition. The resilience this team have become known for under head coach Shukri Conrad reared its head again as the Proteas recovered from 20/3 in the Powerplay to post an imposing 187/7.
