South Africa captain Aiden Markram heaped praise on his team and backed them despite the loss against India in the third T20I of the four-match series at the SuperSport Park on Wednesday. Arshdeep Singh's three-wicket haul and Tilak Varma's unbeaten century helped India clinch an 11-run victory over South Africa.

Following the match in the post-match presentation, Markram said, "I thought we bowled really well, some really good plans and our bowlers executed really well. From the batting point of view, you want to break it at the mid-way stage but it did not work out.
