Saim Ayub & Agha Salman Fabulous innings helps Pakistan 1st victory of the series

Saim Ayub's fantasy debut season took off higher than ever as a great hundred from the Pakistan opener helped seal an outright exhilarating success in the main ODI over South Africa in Paarl. Assuming responsibility for a game that looked a waste of time when Pakistan lost four right off the bat in a pursuit of 240, he struck up a 141-run organization with Salman Agha, whose inside and out commitment started with a four-wicket pull and finished in an unbeaten 82 as he held his nerve in a strained late stand with Naseem Shah to get Pakistan over the line with three balls and as numerous wickets in excess. All of this seemed a world away when Pakistan staggered severely in quest for what ought to have been a less than impressive first-innings exertion from South Africa. Marco Jansen tidied up Abdullah Shafique with a pearler first up, swinging it back in to dismiss stump. Babar Azam waded through for a bloated 23 that does close to nothing to mollify worries over his own structure, with Ottneil Baartman - who started with two lady overs, bringing him into a miscue that went directly to the cover defender. It was quickly trailed by commander Mohammad Rizwan being tidied up off the cushions, and a bothered Pakistan were feeling sufficiently liberal to gift South Africa one more wicket when Kamran Ghulam set out for a run Ayub cared very little about. Pakistan's long tail keeps on being an issue, and Irfan Khan's early stage struggle proceeds, so when the guests wound up at 60 for 4 in the twentieth over, the Ayub-Agha organization was their last practical shot at an impossible triumph. South Africa got the opportunity to hammer the entryway in front of Pakistan, however when Agha scratched off to Aiden Markram on 6, Heinrich Klaasen shelled a sharp opportunity. Slowly, intangibly from the beginning, Pakistan started to paw their direction back into the game. Ayub, who had up to that point rejected strangely to 31 off 57 at one phase, started to track down normal singles and pairs, as well as an intermittent limit. Agha is maybe undeniably appropriate for that sort of job, having the wile to press out runs regardless of whether the power hitting doesn't work out easily for him. As South Africa's power and quality in the field dropped, the organization consistently fabricated, sneaking beyond 50, and ultimately stepping past three figures. Ayub, who had at this point worked his direction into the kind of energy that he's normally known for, turned the screw against Baartman, whose figures up to that point read 5-2-9-2. Two sixes and two fours brought the asking rate down under a run a ball before Ayub slapped Rabada for a magnificent six over midwicket to raise his second ODI hundred of every three innings. However, with a long tail, there was the inescapable gamble. Ayub had been behaving recklessly helping it to the profound third and fine-leg limits, and in the long run wound up holing out to the last option. Kagiso Rabada, detecting his chance, prised out Irfan four conveyances later, and South Africa were into Pakistan's tail. Tabraiz Shamsi quickly took care of Shaheen Afridi, however Naseem and Agha understood the asking rate was taken care of, and approached ticking the last couple of runs off deliberately. There was a periodic furor, yet Agha showed the steel that has stood him out since he incorporated himself so successfully into the group. He picked his second, slapping Shamsi over the top for a six that managed the asking rate back. By and by, all Pakistan required were singles, and there was still chance to wrap up with a twist when Agha drove Jansen back down the ground to seal the success. Prior in the day, a restrained bowling execution from Pakistan, saw Pakistan limit South Africa to 239 for 9 in Paarl. Agha's parttime offspin went through the South African top and center request after the hosts made a flying beginning as they drooped from 70 for 0 out of ten overs to 88 for 4 before long. It was passed on to Heinrich Klaasen, who put away his full scale pugnacity for a significant knock of 86 off 97, to ensure his side's bowling assault had something important to safeguard. Agha's burst into bowling conspicuousness was however abrupt as it might have been startling. Openers Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickleton were drifting along in the first powerplay at north of seven runs for each finished, taking care of Shaheen and Naseem's initial spell without seeming to face any challenges. Rizwan may just have acquainted Agha into the assault with separate the energy, yet it ended up being a propelled decision. Inside four overs, South Africa's batting line-up - as well as their place of benefit - was shredded. Everything started when Agha inspired one to slip into de Zorzi and trap him in front; no survey was important. Rickleton slashed one on off from him in his following over, however Agha would save his best for last. With the new hitters out of nowhere unfit to peruse him either off the pitch or out of the hand, Rassie van der Dussen and Tristan Stubbs played for turn that wasn't there, and heard the clatter of their off stump being thumped back.x
