After securing a three-wicket victory over South Africa in the first match of the three-match ODI series, Pakistan team today entered the field against South Africa with one match in hand to win the series. Against Pakistan, South Africa won the toss and elected to field first and managed to pick up a crucial wicket of Pakistan early in the first innings. South Africa did not score well in the first ODI match in the first innings due to which Pakistan batted fairly well in the second innings to secure victory against South Africa.
Pakistan will definitely want to score at least 280 plus runs on the scoreboard against South Africa today. Because in such a competitive game if no team can score 280 plus runs in the first innings then it will be an easy equation for the team batting in the second innings to win.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan
Recently Afghanistan won the T20 series 2-1 and today they were confident to win the first ODI too but the rain came as a hurdle between them and the win. We have seen some good bowling by Azmatullah Omarzai who took 4 wickets in four overs. He really destroyed the Zimbabwe batting and didn't let them score.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe must be thinking that the rain come as a blessing to save them. They were 44/5 and will definitely lose this match if it was not stopped. Ben Curran made 15 runs and that was the highest score from them. It seems like Zimbabwe has completely lost their form.

Zimbabwe was completely losing the game yesterday against Afghanistan but now since the first game is drawn they have an outside chance to win the series or at the same time, if they cannot win the series then at least able to draw. They Just need to win one game to tie the series against Afghanistan. The rain helped Zimbabwe to be saved from the bad loss.
Today again both teams will meet at Harare and I hope the weather remains good for the full 50-over game. Zimbabwe playing at home ground and they will definitely want to show good performance in this match.

Zimbabwe team won the toss and decided to bowl today, Afghanistan team is batting at the moment and they have lost 3 wickets. Afghanistan team batsman Abdul Malik scored 84 runs in 101 balls and then he got out unfortunately he could not score a hundred. Sediqullah Atal has managed to score a great century at the moment he scored 102 runs in 125 balls his batting performance was impressive. I think Afghanistan team can score more than 270 after playing till 50, and if they can collect this score, Afghanistan will have a chance to win.

After Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's wickets fell back-to-back at the start, it looked like Pakistan might not win this ODI match but Saim Ayub and Agha Salman turned that incredible moment into victory with their contributions. An innings of 109 runs and an innings of 82 runs was enough to win after this match where only Babar Azam couldn't touch double digits except 23 runs.
But right now the Pakistani bowlers are doing well but the batsmen need to be more careful otherwise the next two matches could be challenging for Pakistan. Especially if S Ayub and Salman had not performed well in today's match then maybe their victory would not have been possible.
Pakistan win in ODI match was very exciting thanks to great performances of Saim Ayub and Agha Salman. After losing Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan at beginning it did not seem like Pakistan would win. But Ayub 109 runs and Salman 82 runs made all difference. Pakistan bowlers did good job but batsmen still need to be more consistent to avoid problems in next matches.

Pakistan bowling is good but not the batting, they need to focus on their batting too. Before in the T20 series, Pakistan bowlers gave their 100 percent and Pakistan were winning every single game just because their batsmen will perform normal not too good, just ordinary.
Just if they completer their responsibility and improve further, then they would be able to get win but not a problem, I hope in the further games Pakistan will perform more better and win this ODI series.
Players need to get inspiration from Salman Agha who was the player of the game as he score 82 and he also did attacking bowling.

The second ODI match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will be played today, although we see a higher chance of Afghanistan winning this match. The Afghan team won the T20 series, so the Afghan team will try to play well in the ODI series as well. The first match did not happen, but in the second match, both teams will want to play well to stay ahead in the series. If the Afghan players can bat and bowl well, then Afghanistan has a higher chance of winning the match, although the betting odds are in favor of Afghanistan winning. However, if the Zimbabwe team can play well against Afghanistan, then it will be a more interesting match, but the chances of Afghanistan winning the match are much higher.

After watching Pakistan's game at the end, I felt that if South Africa had scored 20 or 30 more runs against Pakistan, Pakistan would have lost this match to South Africa. As an opportunity they have taken advantage of, Pakistan batsmen will have to try to perform better later and if Pakistan bat in the first innings, they need to accumulate at least 300 plus runs on the scoreboard, but they can do better in the second ODI match against South Africa.
When the Pakistan had lost their hope and when continuous wickets were falling and the hope was dying for fans then Salman Agha arrived and lead the team to the win. Saim Ayub also scored well 109 but Salman Agha 82 was more efficient and strong and also helpful for the team than Saim Ayub century.
Once again, there was no performance by Babar Azam and Rizwan, these players are not performing but the middle order made a strong comeback in the game and at the end of the day, Pakistan is leading the series now by winning the first game. The next match is on tomorrow.
Pakistan has won the match but still, they are not performing in that full strength that is expected of them. If Salman Agha would not come with that form then I don't think that Pakistan can even score 200 while Siam Ayub often get out at the start (in few pervious matches).
This time the Pakistan team wants a player who will hit boundaries and sixes and start the innings in a good way. In this regard one and the only Fakhar Zaman name comes in mind. He has the ability to perform in every single game and he has never missed the chance to lead the team through a victory, he is also a good option as following the ODI format and also valuable in T20 as well.

What a comeback by the Pakistan batsmen. I remembered the score at the 17th over and Pakistan was suffering and already lost 3 important wickets and did not produce a good score, just 50 runs and the target looked too much difficult at that time.
I was thinking that Pakistan may not be able to chase this score but I was wrong mainly because later the partnership Saim Ayub and Salman Agha changed the game. I have seen the century of Saim Ayub for the first time. In the T20I matches, Saim Ayub scored 98 in one game but could not get the strike in the last over so he could not complete it but yesterday he made a milestone by scoring his first century.

South Africa needs to speed up the run rate as the overs are ticking by and they are right now playing at around 5 runs per over. I understand they have lost their side but still, Heinrich Klaasen is the man is batting on 70, fully set and he need to hit some more boundaries so that South Africa can end up somewhere near 270-280 as that would be a challenging total.
I think Pakistan have a chance to win this match and so i am taking a bet on them. Also i got better odds for Pakistan that is 2.30. South Africa odds were 1.60 as bookies still consider them favorites.

You must be very tense watching this match as at times it looked like Pakistan would lose this match but it was Salman Agha who came later in the innings and won the match for this team and also the bet for you
Even though Pakistan won this match but it was not a good batting by them. It was only the century by Saim Ayub and innings by Salman Agha that helped Pakistan reach this score. Had one of these players out early, Pakistan would have been in trouble even reaching 150. The scorecard isn't looking healthy at all except for the fact that Pakistan won this match.
While batting from most of the players from Pakistan team was a crap, but how well Saim Ayub played. I am not saying that making a 100 runs is a big thing but to make these runs when you are losing batsmen at other end and you are chasing a moderate total, makes it even more harder to bat. He was out when the team score was 201 runs and they needed approx. 40+ more runs to win. Salman Agha took this task and made sure they cross the finish line.

Pakistan fans were very happy with the three-wicket win over South Africa in the first ODI match yesterday. We have seen the T20 series between these two teams where Pakistan lost very badly to South Africa. But after seeing the change in the play of the Pakistan players in the first ODI match of these two teams yesterday, it is expected that the Pakistan fans will be able to make up for the failure of the T20 series in this ODI.
Some of the South African players are injured and that was one of the reasons why they lost yesterday. Keshav Maharaj was initially named in the playing XI, but he had to pull out of the match at the last minute due to a groin strain. And this meant that he was replaced by Tabraiz Shamsi in the XI. Keshav is regarded as a bowler who can bat, but Shamsi is a genuine tailender. Yesterday, South Africa had three genuine tailenders in their squad, and this significantly contributed to their defeat.

Pakistan won by 3 wickets against South Africa in their 1st ODI match. South Africa won the toss and opted to Bat. They made 239-9 runs. Openers Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi tired to did well in batting from beginning, scored around 36 and 33 runs respectively as well. So was done by captain Aiden Markram(35). When it came to Heinrich Klaasen(86), he was the game changer who Showed his skillful batting performance but unfortunately missed his century for a little more runs. And rest of players did avarage ten runs as well. Salman Agha four wickets alone. On the other hand, Pakistan opener Abdullah Shafique lost his wicket with zero runs. But other opener gave his best effort to lead the team, he able to survive till century, 109 runs scored by him. Babar azam, ridwan unable to made runs as excepted. Even others players didn't showed good batting performance except Salman Agha(*82), who was on the field till Pakistan won the match, and due to his valueable contribution, Pakistan team have ensure their victory finally

At the start it looked like it was the match of Pakistan. Soon things went against the Pakistan team as they kept losing wickets. Once again the winning situation is retained, and with the performance of Ayub and Agha, the scenario changed. At the end, once again the Pakistan team went close to losing as the wicket of Ayub fell. By the time Agha took responsibility, and winning credit needs to be given to Naseem Shah, who helped Agha to stand wicket when there are wickets falling continuously. Anyhow, the match came to the Pakistan team, and they won at the 50th over.
After Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's wickets fell back-to-back at the start, it looked like Pakistan might not win this ODI match but Saim Ayub and Agha Salman turned that incredible moment into victory with their contributions.
