South Africa captain Aiden Markram, feeling "gutted," admitted that his team succumbed to "scoreboard pressure" during the T20 World Cup final against India. Despite the presence of explosive hitters like Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, and Tristan Stubbs, South Africa fell just short in their pursuit of 176, with Virat Kohli's innings of 76 and effective death bowling by Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya proving decisive for India.
