Pakistan will be aiming for their second successive ODI series win when they take on hosts South Africa in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Newlands stadium in Cape Town on Thursday. Mohammad Rizwan’s side had won a hard-fought first ODI clash by three wickets with three balls to spare to go 1-0 up in the series.
All-rounder Salman Ali Agha was the star of the show, claiming 4 wickets with the ball to restrict the South Africans to 239 for 9 in 50 overs with Heinrich Klaasen top-scoring with 86 off 97 balls. Agha then came up with an unbeaten 82 off 90 balls with two sixes and four fours after Pakistan had slipped to 60 for 4 wickets in their chase.
Agha put on 141 runs for 5th wicket with centurion Saim Ayub, who smashed 109 off 119 balls with 3 sixes and 10 fours. For the South Africans, Kagiso Rabada and Ottneil Bartman picked up two wickets each.
The home side will be boosted by the return of in-form skipper Temba Bavuma to the side, who will replace Aiden Markram as captain. Pakistan had won their previous ODI series against Australia 2-1 down under earlier this year.
