The Canadian team had a target of 255 runs from South Africa. The Canadian team was very bad. The team lost three wickets for just 28 runs.

South Africa’s bowling attack was a deadly bowler like Shaun Poloch, Makhaya Antini and Alan Donald. Seeing this, Maraj started his innings slow. Gradually, victory from Canada became far away. But Maraj stayed at one end, perhaps he did not even expect that he would make an unwanted record in this innings, which will remain his name for years.
