Debutant Markram stars in Proteas victory

Aiden Markram scored a half-century and took two wickets on his ODI debut as South Africa completed a 3-0 series win over Bangladesh.

Aiden Markram scored a half-century and took two wickets on his ODI debut as South Africa completed a clean sweep of their three-match series against Bangladesh with a crushing 200-run victory at Buffalo Park.

Markram contributed 66 from 60 balls as South Africa posted 6-369 from their 50 overs, with Faf du Plessis (91 from 67 balls) and Quinton de Kock (73 from 68) also in the runs.

Du Plessis retired hurt with a lower back strain and has been withdrawn from the two-match T20 International series that starts in Bloemfontein on Thursday as JP Duminy takes over the captaincy duties.

Bangladesh slipped to 5-61 and were eventually all out for 169 as Markram claimed two for 18, including the wicket of Shakib Al Hasan (63 from 82), who provided the lone score of note for the visitors.
