Another very good cricket series has finished out there as we see Pakistan managed to win the series in South Africa against South Africa just 2nd time.First Misbah won the series as captain and now as coach.This is a first big victory for Pakistan under his tenure so he should be a relieve man.
Let's talk about the last match,where Pakistan batted first and got a great start by openers especially Fakher Zaman who got another hundred in this match as well so he continues his good form.

After his wicket Pakistan tumbled a bit in middle period where middle order collapsed but thanks to Babar who hold the one end and Hassan came out of no where and smashed 10 balls 31 and Pakistan managed to score 43 in last two overs and they scored 320 at the end.Babar played another good innings of 94.

Maharaj picked 3 wickets for South Africa,in the chase things started well for 3 Africa but Nawaz came in their way and they were 140/5 after 25 overs.Phelukwayo and Verynne played well to put on a 100 run partnership but that was not enough for win and they lost comprehensively at the end.
What Pakistan has got?
Pakistan's top order was really good they scored in every match and Pakistani pacers also done a great job with the new ball and in the backend as well i think Pakistan has found a really good pace attack they are having veriety and deception as well.But they have struggled a lot in the middle overs and their middle order didn't fired at all they were having problems out there.In spin department also struggled a bit Shadab couldn't perform and then Nawaz and did a good job in the last Odi.So after that win Pakistan still have to answers a lot of questions.
What South Africa did?
I think Pakistan played a batter cricket overall than South Africa their problems going long and long no bowler was looking really threatning except Nortje Rabada also couldn't do well he was not looking really focused.Rassie Van der Dusssan showed a great class he played a very calm innings in 1st Odi and then he was aggressive in 2nd one so he looks a complete package and South Africa need more like him.
So that is it from my side over all that was a good and fighting series for both sides but Pakistan will be really happy after this.
