Tri-Nation Series: Rizwan, Agha Struck Tons As Pakistan Beat South Africa With Highest-ever Chase
Nation ODI Series: Skipper Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha struck centuries and shared a 260-run partnership to help mount the highest-ever run chase for Pakistan in ODIs as they beat South Africa by six wickets and seal a place in the final of the Tri-Nation ODI Series here on Wednesday.
Rizwan struck an unbeaten 122 off 128 balls, hitting nine fours and three sixes while Salman Agha hammered a 103-ball 134, blasting 16 boundaries and two sixes as they helped Pakistan reach 355/4 in 49 overs to successfully chase the 352/5 that South Africa posted after electing to bat first.
The 707 runs the two sides raked up is the highest match aggregate involving South Africa & Pakistan in ODIs. The win ensured Pakistan, who had lost to New Zealand in their first match, set up a revenge final with the Black Caps in the series. After Fakhar Zaman (41) and Babar Azam (23) had raised 57 runs for the opening wicket stand in quick time, Pakistan had slumped to 91/3 with Saud Shakeel too getting out for 15.
