Pakistan won the ODI series against South Africa 2-1 by beating South Africa by 7 wickets in the third ODI. It was Pakistan's third consecutive series win against South Africa in ODI's and their first at home. Credit must goto bowlers especially Abrar Ahmad for bowling South Africa for such a low total of 143 runs which was clearly inadequate.
Saim Ayub's batting was particularly very impressive and in the ODI series he came back into form with innings of 39, 53 and 71. Babar Azam also looked good before he was run out for 27 in the third ODI. Also South Africa maybe contemplating ruing their decision to bat first on the difficult third ODI Faisalabad pitch as all teams chasing and batting second won all the three matches.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan did very well in home conditions in this home series against South Africa drawing the test series 1-1, winning the twenty20 international series 2-1 and winning the ODI series 2-1.
