T20 World Cup final: Devastated South Africa reflect on missed opportunity

South Africa's agonising seven-run loss to India in the Twenty20 World Cup final has motivated them for future success after reflecting on a solid campaign, according to captain Aiden Markram. Despite needing 30 runs from the final 30 balls with six wickets left and two set batters, South Africa fell short as India's experience and precision in bowling sealed the game. Markram expressed the team's disappointment but also their determination to learn from this experience and strive for more success in future finals, especially when they host the 50-over Cricket World Cup in 2027.
