Pakistan’s rising cricket sensation, Saim Ayub, once again proved his mettle as the “Run Machine” with a stellar performance that helped Pakistan secure a clean sweep against South Africa in the ODI series.
Ayub, who has been in phenomenal form throughout the series, dazzled in the final match with a commanding 87 off 63 balls, anchoring Pakistan’s chase of 275. His aggressive stroke play, coupled with elegant drives, left the South African bowlers searching for answers.
Skipper Babar Azam praised Ayub’s consistency and hunger for runs. “Saim has been exceptional. He’s a key player for our future, and his temperament under pressure is remarkable,” said Azam in the post-match ceremony.
Pakistan’s bowlers also played a crucial role, with Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf dismantling the South African batting order, sharing six wickets between them.
The series sweep underscores Pakistan’s dominance on home soil, bolstering their confidence ahead of upcoming international fixtures. With Ayub’s emergence as a dependable run scorer, the team’s batting lineup looks stronger than ever.
