Elsewhere, Pakistan’s all-format captain, Babar Azam, is now just five points behind the number one ODI batsman in the world, Virat Kohli, and a good showing in the third ODI against South Africa can see Babar climb to the top.
Fakhar Zaman has made an exceptional comeback to the ODI side. He was dropped for Pakistan’s previous ODI series against Zimbabwe after a string of poor performances. He put in the hard work at the domestic level and regained his form in the National T20 Cup and Pakistan Cup, making his way back to the national side.
