Cricket World Cup 2023: Best XI of the fourth week
Noting some superb performances between October 26 to November 1, it's time to prepare the best XI of the tournament’s fourth week.
4. Aiden Markram (Captain)
South Africa are playing a fierce brand of cricket in this World Cup and they are now one of the favourites to lift the coveted trophy. In their scintillating show, their batters have played an enormous role. Aiden Markram, who bats at number four, has justified his role in the Protea team.
The right-handed batter has piled up 362 runs with a ton and three fifties in seven matches. With these numbers, he is the second-leading run-scorer for his side in this competition. In the contest against Pakistan, when South Africa were in trouble while pursuing 271, Markram held his nerves to take the game deep for his side.
The 29-year-old played a responsible knock of 91 off 93 with 10 boundaries (seven fours and three sixes) against Pakistan’s quality bowling attack and guided his team to an intriguing one-wicket win. Markram will look to continue his scintillating form ahead and help his team lift the trophy for the first time.
