Proteas middle-order batsman Aiden Markram said the team would continue to fight to the death heading into the series-deciding third ODI against India in Delhi on Tuesday.
Markram, the top-scoring Proteas batsman in the last match, said the squad were focused on what needed to be done from a Cricket World Cup Super League points qualification point of view.
SA remain in 11th place on the Super League points table, but a win on Tuesday will take them up to ninth, ahead of Sri Lanka and Ireland, and only nine points adrift of West Indies in eighth place — the cut-off for direct entry into the 2023 ODI World Cup. He felt SA were 15 to 20 runs short of what they believed would have been a winning score in the second ODI.
