T20 World Cup final a hunger game for Proteas: Markram

BRIDGETOWN - South Africa captain Aiden Markram says his team are driven by an"extreme hunger" to win as they search for their first T20 World Cup title against India on Saturday.

"There's a really strong will to win, I don't think it's on the level of desperation though but it's an extreme hunger to win games of cricket," he told a press conference on Friday. As well as some convincing wins, South Africa have edged victories in close encounters with Bangladesh, Nepal and England and those performances, says Markram showed his team's mental strength.

It has been a real team effort from South Africa with Quinton de Kock their top scorer with 204 runs at an average of 25.50 and David Miller adding 148 at 29.60.
