Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI 2024

Pakistan won the ODI series against South Africa in South Africa which is a proud moment in cricket for the whole Pakistan nation. This was a team effort as Pakistan outshone, out conquered and outclassed South Africa in all three departments of the game to win the ODI series. The bowling line up selected for this second ODI by the South Africans was weak and inexperienced. Pakistan batsmen took full advantage of this weak bowling line up missing Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje in their bowling line up to put up an imposing total of 329 on board which the South Africans found very difficult to chase.

Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam again formed a huge and well refined partnership of 100 plus runs which laid the foundation of a huge total of 329 runs. Kamran Ghulam played the best knock of his short career at an impressive strike rate which led to Pakistan's great total. Despite Klaasen's whirlwind knock of 97 runs Pakistan managed to beat South Africa by 81 runs due to Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah's superb bowling.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan would put an icing on the cake if they are able to whitewash South Africa 3-0 in this ODI series.
