South African batsman Aiden Markram heaped praise on Pakistan batsmen for their performance in the recently concluded three-match ODI series.

While speaking in a podcast released by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Markram was impressed with how the Pakistan batsman dealt with the South African conditions.

“We as a team are really impressed with them [Pakistan batsmen] as how they went about their business. Naturally, they scored a lot of runs throughout the series and adapted to the South African conditions. We really take our hats off to them,” he said.

Markram also appreciated left-hand opener Fakhar Zaman, who was awarded player of the series for scoring 302 runs, which included two centuries.

“Fakhar Zaman scoring a massive hundred and then following it up with another century was great to see. We as batters learnt a lot from them and it was nice to witness it from the front row seat,” he said.
