In the semi-finals, South Africa may face either New Zealand or India.
South Africa’s experienced all-rounder Aiden Markram was injured while fielding in the Champions Trophy 2025 match against England at the National Stadium in Karachi on March 1. Markram had a hamstring problem.
In this match, he was seen captaining in the absence of regular captain Temba Bavuma, but after he left the field due to this injury, Heinrich Klaasen played the role of captain. So, when he left the field due to a hamstring injury on his right leg, it was expected that he would come to bat. But this did not happen, he did not come to bat during the entire match.
On the other hand, after winning the match against England by 7 wickets, South Africa has qualified for the semi-finals. So, now he can face either India or New Zealand in the semi-finals. But now before this match, Markram has shared a big update with the fans regarding his injury.
Aiden Markram gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after an easy win against England, 30-year-old Markram said about the hamstring niggle – I think it’s fine, hopefully I will get good rest in the next few days and I will be fine.
On the other hand, after England cricket team was bowled out for 179 runs in this match, Markram said – The pitch was slow initially, the boys really adapted themselves well to the conditions. We maintained the length of our ball and bowled in a good place. Marco Jansen is a big bowler for us, he takes wickets first, he finds different ways to do so. He forms a good bowling pair with KG (Kagiso Rabada).
