South Africa has named a strong squad for the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan. The squad sees Kagiso Rabada return to the South African ODI side for the first time since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, while David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen make their comebacks since December 2023.
In a notable inclusion, 18-year-old Kwena Maphaka has been named to the South African ODI squad for the first time. A promising talent already capped in T20Is, Maphaka had an outstanding performance earlier this year, being named Player of the Tournament at the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, where he took 21 wickets at an impressive average of 9.71.
On the other hand, Pakistan's squad features some relatively inexperienced players, including Abrar Ahmed, Tayyab Tahir, Kamran Ghulam, and Sufiyan Moqim.
With these contrasting lineups, the question remains - Can Pakistan defeat South Africa in the three-match ODI series?
