Aiden Markram scored a blistering unbeaten 86 as South Africa raced to a seven-wicket win over New Zealand to maintain their 100% record at the T20 World Cup, BBC reported. 

Set 176, the Proteas surged to 83-1 after the powerplay as their captain, assisted by Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton, brutally took down the Black Caps bowlers.

Markram brought up his half century from 19 balls - the joint-fastest of the tournament - with a straight six and with just seven overs of the chase gone, the outcome was never in doubt, according to BBC.
