Pakistan vs South Africa 3rd ODI Live Score: Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat in the second ODI against South Africa. With the series tied at 1-1, the final ODI is the series decider. Pakistan’s batting has been a concern for a while, and they will have to perform better to win the final game. There have been many starts by Pakistan batters in both games, but none have gone on to score a really big one for the team, similar to Quinton de Kock, who scored a hundred in the second game.
Also, the bowling has looked ordinary from Pakistan, with Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah not picking regular wickets. The spinners bowled well when the wicket turned, but they were taken to the cleaners in the second ODI when the pitch was flat and dew settled in. Pakistan has lost a lot of series in recent times, and they certainly would not want to lose another at home. Can they raise their game and surprise the Proteas in the final? Stay tuned for live score updates.
Toss: South Africa Opt To Bat.
