South African Marco Marais experienced a disappointing season with Alton, scoring only 164 runs in ten Southern Premier League knocks, but he’s back to his big hitting best in his native country, blasting his second century in 24 hours as Border trounced Mpumalanga by nine wickets in the Africa T20 Cup to give themselves hope of reaching the semis.
After hitting 103 not out against Namibia on day one, the right-hander thumped an unbeaten 106 (55 balls, 7 fours, 8 sixes) to take his team to their 176 target with 15 balls to spare.
Marais is growing into a T20 superstar after making global headlines last season when he smashed the fastest triple century in first-class cricket history from only 191 balls.
Marais then produced another devastating innings when he smashed 75 off 34 balls (10 fours, 3 sixes) in an eight-wicket over Kenya.
