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.
