Following the landmark series win over South Africa away from home, Pakistan captain Mohammed Rizwan lauded young opener Saim Ayub for his performances, saying that the team "trusts and believes" his talent. Ayub was one of the frontline stars for Pakistan, with two brilliant centuries, including one in the third ODI, as it completed its first-ever clean sweep series win in South Africa after a win in the third and final ODI at Johannesburg on Monday.
The ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan concluded on a historic note for Mohammad Rizwan's men, as the touring side complete a never-seen-before 3-0 sweep. South Africa, who first featured in an official ODI series back in 1991, had never suffered such a humiliation at home. Their first home series came in 1992 against India. However, Rizwan's men refused to take their foot off the gas even after claiming an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. In the final ODI at Johannesburg, Pakistan once again produced an all-round effort to etch their name in history books.
