Pakistan Series Down to Disappointing End

Pakistan's tour of South Africa has come to an underwhelming conclusion after inclement weather ruined the scheduled third and final T20I at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, with the match abandoned without a ball being bowled. South Africa had sealed the series earlier with a 7-wicket victory in the second T20I, which was highlighted by Reeza Hendricks's career-best 117

For Pakistan, Saim Ayub impressed with an unbeaten 98 off 57 balls in the second match, while in the second T20I, South Africa chased down a target of 207 with ease, eventually winning by 7 wickets with three wickets to spare.

The weather was fraught with danger from the outset, with lightning strikes and a drizzle forcing an inspection but ultimately the steady rain ensured the match would not go ahead, with South Africa already having secured a comfortable 2-0 lead in the T20I series. Both sides will now shift focus to the ODI matches which will be played from Paarl.

As South Africa looks to build momentum ahead of the ODI leg, they will rely heavily on their batting lineup which has consistently delivered under pressure. Meanwhile, Pakistan will hope to regain composure and mount a more competitive challenge though the Test series is their prime priority
