Pakistan secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against South Africa with a victory in the second match, marking a historic achievement. The national team has now won an ODI series in South Africa for the third time.

Pakistan is the first team in the 21st century to win three ODI series in South Africa, achieving this feat in 2013, 2021, and 2024.

Overall, Pakistan has played seven bilateral ODI series in South Africa, winning three of them. This accomplishment also makes Pakistan the second team overall to win three or more ODI series in South Africa.

Australia is the only other team to achieve this milestone, having won three ODI series in South Africa out of 10 played. Their victories came in 1997, 2002, and 2011.

This remarkable achievement highlights Pakistan's growing dominance and adaptability in South African conditions.
