I've always maintained Babar cost us 2 WCs. 2021 we deserved and 2022 we got lucky but a better captain would have defended that total in the final.

Mohammad Rizwan in a post match ceremony:
"It's always a proud moment for us when we win because the nation expects such things from us. We are happy. As a team we give our best and the rest is left to Allah who helps us achieve positive results."
"That was the effort of the whole team in the second ODI where everyone performed. It was the perfect example of a team effort where we performed well in every department."
"It is not easy playing away from home and we know South Africa is a really tough opponent but the guys had trust in each other and played the positive cricket which the game demanded. I must say in these 3 ODIs Allah helped us in difficult times to get the positive results."
"(On Saim Ayub) I can't praise him more, he is an exceptional talent, every time he talks to you about the game and gets involved in it. We trust him and believe that he will perform even more for Pakistan."

Naseem Shah has regressed pacewise and swing. He has now dropped from 145-148 km/hr to 135-137 km/hr.
Dont worry time on his side to recover; he's only 21 ... 23 ....erm 25?

A historic win. Although Pakistan had twice won ODI series in RSA previously, 3-0 was unexpected. Saim finally living up to his potential. Fakhar should replace Abdullah in the white ball side.
Bavuma is the weakest link in this South African top order (as in last year's World Cup). A beneficiary of the ridiculous quota system. I have never seen him perform in important games. Captaincy is nothing special either. Because of Bavuma, more talented batsmen like Reeza Hendricks and new find Rickleton have to sit out.
Klaasen batted well in all three games with scores of 86, 97 and 81. Just did not get enough support from the others.

Not fit enough. Needs to get his edge back by losing weight
Two months ago, I didn’t think Pakistan would beat Australia in Australia and then whitewash South Africa in South Africa, but under Rizwan’s captaincy, Pakistan seemed to have achieved the impossible. Sure, it is still early days and there are far bigger and tougher tests to come for Rizwan as a captain, but I am going to celebrate this series victory. Under the previous captain, we were losing series after series, and as a Pakistan fan, I was becoming more and more disillusioned with the team, but thankfully Rizwan has come in as a captain and he has been a breath of fresh air. Long may that continue!

Pakistan achieved a historic series sweep over South Africa, securing a 36-run victory in the third and final ODI of the series at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, on Sunday night. The rain-affected 47-over contest saw South Africa, chasing a target of 309, bowled out for 271 in 42 overs.
The victory was highlighted by a stellar performance from Saim Ayub, who struck his second century of the series, and debutant Sufyan Moqim, who impressed with bowling figures of 4-52. Contributions from skipper Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, who scored half-centuries, further bolstered Pakistan’s efforts. Saim also contributed with the ball, delivering a tidy 10-over spell with figures of 1-34.
In their chase of Pakistan's 308-9, South Africa struggled as wickets fell at regular intervals. Naseem Shah struck early, removing Temba Bavuma in the fourth over. Shaheen Afridi soon followed by dismissing Tony de Zorzi, who scored a brisk 26 off 23 balls, including two fours and two sixes.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Sufyan Moqim made an impact by dismissing Aiden Markram (19 off 27 balls) in the 16th over, leaving South Africa at 80-3. Mohammad Hasnain and Saim Ayub added to the pressure by taking the wickets of Rassie van der Dussen (35 off 52) and David Miller (3 off 6) in the 20th and 21st overs, respectively.
Heinrich Klaasen provided resistance with a blistering 81 off 43 balls, featuring 12 fours and two sixes. He shared a 71-run stand with Marco Jansen (26 off 22) before Shaheen Afridi dismissed him in the 29th over. Sufyan claimed Jansen’s wicket shortly after.
South Africa required 96 runs from the last 15 overs with three wickets remaining. Corbin Bosch fought valiantly with an unbeaten 40 off 44 balls, including five boundaries, but ran out of partners as South Africa fell 36 runs short with 30 balls remaining. Alongside Sufyan’s four wickets, Naseem and Shaheen took two wickets each, while Hasnain and Saim claimed one apiece.
Earlier, after being sent in to bat, Pakistan faced an early setback as Abdullah Shafique was dismissed for a golden duck in the opening over. Babar Azam (52 off 71) and Saim Ayub steadied the innings with a 114-run partnership over 22.1 overs. Babar reached his 34th ODI half-century before being dismissed by Kwena Maphaka.
Saim, who hammered 13 fours and two sixes in his 94-ball 101, partnered with Rizwan (53 off 52) for a 93-run stand off just 75 balls. Saim achieved his third ODI century in just nine innings during the 34th over.
Pakistan added 85 runs in the last nine overs, thanks to Salman Ali Agha’s explosive 48 off 33 balls, which included three fours and two sixes. Tayyab Tahir also contributed 28 off 24, sharing a 74-run sixth-wicket stand with Salman to propel Pakistan to a competitive total.
For South Africa, Kagiso Rabada took three wickets, while Bjorn Fortuin and Marco Jansen claimed two each.

Mohammad Rizwan in a post match press conference:
"If we talk about new players, Pakistan has a lot of potential. There are many performers who have been consistently excelling in domestic cricket for quite some time. As you know, our domestic cricket is very competitive so if players can perform well there, they can perform anywhere at the international level. However, it’s important to evaluate which players can be utilized in specific conditions. Sometimes, certain conditions don’t suit some players and as a captain it’s your responsibility to figure out how and where such players can be best utilized."
"In our recent series wins seniors played a crucial role alongside the youngsters as they performed well and together we are achieving good results. Player form can fluctuate at times but that doesn’t mean a player is not good. Both our youngsters and seniors are performing well and because of that we are seeing positive outcomes."
"If you talk about experienced players like Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi, they’ve already played a lot of cricket around the world and know how to handle pressure situations. As seniors they share their knowledge with youngsters and as a captain I keep discussing match strategies with them. For juniors, I try to utilize them based on their capabilities and strengths. This combination of junior and senior players is working well for us."
"In my opinion, Heinrich Klaasen is currently the world’s best middle-order batter. Regarding today’s game, the pitch improved slightly in the second innings. When Babar and Saim were batting the wicket was a bit tricky so they took their time to settle in before scoring. In the second innings, the ball came onto the bat nicely. However, despite Klaasen’s impressive batting our bowlers remained on the attack. We also had the DLS par score in mind due to the rain forecast and there was a message that South Africa might try to achieve that par score so we planned and executed our strategies and Shaheen’s breakthrough turned the game in our favor."
"ODIs and T20s are different formats because T20 cricket allows limited time but right now our focus is on ODIs. In T20s, we often rest senior players and experiment with combinations. However while experimenting compromises are sometimes necessary. In ODIs our team is gelling well at the moment. We focus on what the game demands and work even harder to achieve positive results leaving the rest to Allah."
"Every player is playing with a positive mindset. Even though the ball was seaming tonight but Saim and Babar played their shots confidently. We are committed to playing positive cricket and with Allah’s help we achieved a positive result tonight. I’m sure our nation is very proud of us."
