South African captain Aiden Markram made an impressive start in the T20 World Cup 2026 match against New Zealand. He hit a remarkable shot that set the tone for the chase.
Facing Lockie Ferguson’s delivery on just the fifth ball (over 1.1), Markram responded quickly. With a smooth motion, he lifted the ball over extra cover.
The timing was perfect, and the pace of Ferguson’s delivery helped carry the ball straight into the stands. Markram showcased his skill, demonstrating balance and confidence against one of the fastest bowlers in Cricket.
