It was heartwarming to see the players hugging the fans and also obliging to selfies. 

WIN TO SAVOUR

The South African team had to precisely wait for 27 years to end their trophy drought. 

"Special moment for us as a team, special moment for the people back home, probably will really sink in a couple of days but it's been special," an elated Bavuma said at the post-match presentation. 

Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada played a huge part in it. If Rabada did the job with the ball, Markram was at his best with the bat.
