With Pakistan having secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against South Africa, the action now shifts to the final game. Pakistan’s dominant 81-run victory in the second ODI saw a brilliant all-round performance, with key contributions from Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, and a stellar bowling effort from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah.
South Africa will be looking to salvage pride and avoid a whitewash, as they face Pakistan in the third and final ODI at Cape Town. Despite strong individual performances, such as Heinrich Klaasen's near-century in the second ODI, the hosts struggled to build partnerships and were unable to chase down the target.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be aiming to maintain their momentum and complete a dominant series win. With the series already in the bag, Pakistan could make some changes to their lineup, giving opportunities to other players. South Africa will need to regroup, address their weaknesses, and come out strong to end the series on a high note.
The 3rd ODI promises to be a thrilling contest as both sides look to finish the series on a positive note.
