Maharaj:
It's a really good wicket. As much as the scoreboard doesn't tell a story, I thought we bowled really well in spells. Couple of loose balls but it's a really good wicket so hopefully the batters can get on top of things. After the drinks break, getting those two wickets, and Aiden bowled really well from the other side to complement each other. We probably could've been 20 percent better in our execution. But it's a really good wicket nonetheless. It was a plan, having seen there wasn't much assistance. I bowled the first ball and it skidded on so I wanted to keep it away from his swing. If there was purchase, I might've gone the other way. It's probably a traditional Supersport wicket. We have chased 250 here the last time against WI. Hopefully we can draw inspiration and play the same way
Markram and de Kock are at the crease.
Markram is on strike.
Forde will open the attack
0.1
Forde to Markram, 5 wides, what a bad start. It's miles down leg, the inswinger and Shai Hope dives to his left but doesn't get a glove to it too
1.2
Jayden Seales to de Kock, FOUR, 12000 T20 runs.A short of length delivery outside off, angling away from the left-hander, de Kock goes on the back foot and pulls, the thick top-edge flies over slip, one bounce over the ropes
1.4
Jayden Seales to Markram, SIX, what a shot. Unreal. It's a short of length delivery on off, he gets forward and punches with almost a straight bat, hitting on top of the bounce, high elbow and all the way over long-on. One of his trademark shots against pace, such strong forearms to get under that one

2.1
Forde to Markram, FOUR, Markram backs away outside the leg-stump, it's a short of length delivery there, pulls and doesn't time it that well, but manages to clear Powell at mid-on
2.4
Forde to Markram, ouCaught by Hetmyer!! Straight to deep square-leg. It's a short of length delivery on middle, Markram gets forward to pull and it's straight to Hettie. He is a safe fielder and clutches it .Forde is pumped. Came off the bottom of the bat
