Milestone
Pakistan have scripted a tale of resilience in this series. They were thrashed in the first T20I in Rawalpindi but bounced back to register two comprehensive wins on successive nights in Lahore and sealed it 2-1.
The caravan will now move to Faisalabad where the 3-match ODI series will be played starting from Tuesday, November 4. Do join us for that. For now, this is the quartet of Darpan Tikiya, Karthik Raj, Aman and Sachin Yadav signing off. Sayonara!

12:40 AM IST, 12:10 PM local time: Salman Agha collects the trophy and takes it to his mates who are lined up for a picture. The celebrations begin.
Salman Ali Agha (Pakistan Captain): "Good teams, when they perform well, they back it up and we did that. It has been 3-4 months, every player has been told their role and it is just about executing it now. What the game needs, you need to do. We did that today and in the last game as well.
(On resting players) We believe in that as we have a lot of games coming up. It is hard for everyone to play every game. Our bench strength is increasing, so I am happy about that.
(Took the game very close) Pakistan always does that (smiles). To come down from 0-1 down, I am happy to have won the series. The character we have showed in the last two games, want to do that in every game."

Donovan Ferreira (South Africa captain): "We didn't perform well with the bat. The bowlers did fight it out. But we did not have any runs. I think you can always learn in any ups and downs. Our batters can't keep losing wickets in clusters. It does not help us.
We can take a lot out of how did they (Pakistan) bowl. They deployed a lot of cutters and that got us out. The last five overs of the game was exciting. Allowed me to try some unorthodox things. I just wanted to give a shoutout to our ladies. We will be watching them play the finals (of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025)."

Faheem Ashraf (Player of the Series): "I told yesterday also that the team has given me a role. There is a role for me in all the departments. Even if I don't get an opportunity with the bat, I try to perform in the field and with the ball. I try to think as a batsman to guess what the opposite batter might be trying to do. I try to do something for the team whenever possible."
Faheem Ashraf bags the 'Player of the Series' award.

Babar Azam (Player of the Match): "The support that the Lahore crowd gave me was amazing. I think I was due one. I was backing myself and I am happy that it came off. There is always pressure. But it about how you absorb it. I was only thinking about what my team and the situation demands. At the start, the ball was gripping on the wicket. It was easier to play the fast bowlers. So, the idea was to take it deep. (To the crowd) Support all the players like you support me. Support the Pakistan team."
Babar Azam also gets the 'Player of the Match' award.
