South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd ODI - Key Players

1) Salman Ali Agha - Pakistan

In the 1st ODI, Salman Ali Agha displayed his dominance as an all-rounder. At first, he picked up 4 wickets in 8 overs at an economy of 4. When it came to batting, Ali came to bat at the lower order and scored 82 of 90 balls at a strike rate of 91.11 while being under pressure during the last overs of the game.

2) Tristan Stubbs - South Africa

The Proteas have a trump card in the form of their middle-order batter Tristan Stubbs. He failed to perform in the previous fixture but Stubbs is still a danger man from South Africa who can stun the opposition in any situation. As of now, Tristan Stubbs is the leading run-scorer for South Africa in the ODI format this year.

3) Saim Ayub - Pakistan

Saim Ayub played the most important role in Pakistan's scoring a win in the 1st ODI. The top-order batter scored 109 off 119 balls at a strike rate of 91.60. A good start from the top released the pressure from the middle order and the job was done well. Saim Ayub is also the leading scorer for Pakistan in the ODI format in 2024.
