South African Republic Batsman Aiden Marcram (photo from STU Forster/Getty Images) Aiden Markram, Vice-Captan in South Africa, was in a sensational form when he broke the 23-fifty on Tuesday against England in the first ODI series of three matches in Headingley, Leeds. The powerful dough focused on targeting the debutant Pacer Sonny Baker and repeatedly sent him to the border. The commanding performance of South Africa led them to victory with seven goals, which in line was given to them 1-0. The South Africa chased 132, reached a 50-run brand in just six breaks and recorded one of its fastest fifties in ODI history. Markram also set a new record for the fastest fifty South African against England and broke Chris Morris, who in 2016 reached a milestone from 30 balls to Wanderers in Johannesburg. Marcram explained his intentions from the first through and hit three boundaries from Baker. In the second, two sixes and four followed and left England on the back leg. On the last ball of the seventh he reached his fifty and provided South Africa a strong platform. Marcram, in combination with Ryan Rickelton, registered the first 100-plus stand in South Africa against England in ODIS because Hashim Amla and Quinton De Kock compiled 239 runs in Centurion. South Africa comfortably reached the target with 187 balls to save because Rickelton and Dewald Brevis remained undefeated to 31 and 6 runs. Rashid took all three goals to England.

Do you think South Africa can maintain its winning dynamics in the ODI series against England?
Previously, South African pitching has created a clinical performance after decision in the field. England was only slipped to 131 in 25 overs. Keshav Mahara claimed four goals, Wiaan Mulder took three while Nandre Burger and Lungi Ngidi picked up one one. Jamie Smith the highest score for England with 54 out of 48 balls. This sum was the fourth lowest England against South Africa in ODIS and their second lowest in Headley. Six English doughs were released for a single-digit score, emphasized by a complete collapse against the confident South African team that arrived in the UK on the back of the 2-1 series over Australia.
