Babar Azam Shines as Pakistan Triumphs Over South Africa in ODI Series
A packed Iqbal Stadium came alive on Saturday night. Fans wanted one thing — a classic batting show from Babar Azam. They got it.
Fakhar Zaman fell early, and tension rose among the home supporters. However, excitement returned as Babar walked in. The crowd erupted, chanting his name with passion. His graceful shots and calm presence brought hope to every corner of the ground.
Babar played some delightful strokes, hitting five crisp boundaries. Though he was run out for 27 in the 11th over, his short stay lifted spirits. The fans were left wanting more, yet his impact set the tone for victory.
Saim and Rizwan Seal the Series
After Babar’s exit, Saim Ayub took charge. He played fearlessly, smashing 11 fours and a six in a fluent 77 off 70 balls. His confidence kept Pakistan ahead throughout the chase.
When Saim fell close to the target, Mohammad Rizwan calmly guided the team home. He scored an unbeaten 32, while Salman Ali Agha sealed the win with a boundary. As a result, Pakistan clinched the series 2–1 in thrilling fashion.
The night ended with cheers, chants, and smiles. It was a reminder of why cricket unites fans across the nation and how Babar Azam continues to inspire every time he takes the field.
