T20 WC: It’s A Completely Fresh Start In Semifinal, Says Markram Ahead Of Clash With NZ
T20 World Cup: South Africa skipper Aiden Markram emphasised on treating the T20 World Cup semi-final as a “completely fresh start” ahead of their clash against New Zealand at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Wednesday. The Proteas, the only unbeaten side left in the tournament, are chasing a maiden cricket World Cup title and hoping to shed their long-standing reputation for faltering in knockout stages.
“We had a good run against them in the group stages, but both teams have played a lot of cricket since then,” Markram told reporters, referring to South Africa’s seven-wicket win over New Zealand in Ahmedabad on February 14.
“It’s a completely fresh start tomorrow, and it's a semifinal, which is exciting as well. I don't think it's as straightforward as just being able to repeat that. We'll try to bring our best game to the front again,” he said.
