Aiden Markram remained unbeaten for 52 runs off 36 balls, with 6 fours and 2 sixes. Other than him, Ryan Rickelton, Temba Bavuma, and Rassie van der Dussen showcased a batting masterclass.
Coming back to the incident involving Fazalhaq Farooqi and Markram, it happened on the second ball of the 50th over. The pacer bowled a yorker to Markram, who dug it out towards extra cover for a single.

I think we set it up nicely - Rassie van der Dussen
The veteran South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen, while speaking to the broadcasters during the mid-innings break, lauded the top-order batters for laying the platform for a big score and expressed delight over their performance. He said:
While talking about the track on the offer, Rassie van der Dussen said that it reminded him of a pitch at the Wanderers and signed off by saying that he was happy with his innings. He said:
"The bounce is up and down, reminding me of the Wanderers wicket, there's bounce, but there's cracks as well, one or two stayed low, some bounced, there's some grassy pitches, skids on, stay on the wicket and don't give the batters any easy runs (on the way to bowl on this wicket). Pretty happy with my innings."
