Pakistan vs South Africa স্কোরকার্ড, 2nd ODI, South Africa vs Pakistan 2021

Pakistan have won three of their last four men's ODIs against South Africa (L1), including each of their last two meetings.

South Africa were defeated by a margin of three wickets in the series opener; they have not suffered back-to-back men's ODI losses on home soil since February 2018, however.

Pakistan have won each of their last five men's ODIs outside their own country; the last time they lost on the road came at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 versus India (Old Trafford, 16 June 2019).

South Africa lost their most recent men's ODI at the Wanderers by two wickets (9 February 2020 v England); only once previously have they logged consecutive defeats in the format at the Johannesburg ground (L3, April 2009 to January 2012).

Pakistan currently lead this bilateral men's ODI series 1-0; if they win this match they will become just the second visiting team in the format's history to win more than one multi-game series against the Proteas in South Africa (Australia x3).

Since the start of 2019, Pakistan’s batsmen have a dot ball rate of 47% in men’s ODI cricket - the lowest rate of any Test-playing country across that time.

Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has scored 50+ in each of his last two ODI innings at the Wanderers, posting 81 versus Sri Lanka there in March 2019 before logging 69 against England in February 2020.

Rassie van der Dussen has averaged 83 across his 17 ODI knocks for South Africa; currently the highest rate ever recorded in ODI cricket (5+ innings).

Babar Azam (Pakistan) has a batting average of 66.3 in men's ODIs against South Africa, the second-best by any player (min. 8 innings) in the format (Jonathan Trott - 70.7 for England).

Shaheen Shah Afridi (47) is three wickets away from reaching 50 for Pakistan in men's ODIs; if he can achieve the milestone in this match, he would equal the record for the fastest Pakistan player to reach 50 wickets in the format (Hasan Ali - 24 matches).
