With the three-match series levelled at 1-1, South Africa and Pakistan will aim for the series victory when they take on each other in the third and final ODI game in Faisalabad on November 8. Pakistan Shaheen Afridi's joy didn't last for much time as they suffered a disappointing loss after their brilliant victory in the opening game. Pakistan posted 269 for 9 in the first innings, thanks to the half-centuries from Saim Ayub, Salman Agha and Mohammad Nawaz. A late cameo from Faheem Ashraf, with 28 runs from just 18 balls, helped the home team cruise past 250, but little did they know it was not going to be sufficient against South Africa. They were only able to take two wickets in the second innings, the only thing they would aim to improve going into the final match. South Africa South Africa bounced back immediately from their series opener defeat in Faisalabad in the second ODI game. While chasing a target of 270 runs, the left-arm opening batter Quinton de Kock led the batting assault, scoring an unbeaten 123 runs alongside Tony de Zorzi, who also smashed 79 runs. The lefty duo stitched a 153-run stand for the second wicket, sealing a comfortable 8-wicket victory on Thursday. Earlier in the bowling, Nandre Burger took a brilliant four-fer in his bowling spell. With the final match still to go, the Proteas will aim for the series victory when they take the field on Saturday against Pakistan.
