In the second ODI match played in Cape Town on Thursday, Pakistan defeated South Africa by 81 runs, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Pakistan, invited to bat first, posted a total of 329 runs in 49.5 overs, with notable contributions from captain Mohammad Rizwan (80), Babar Azam (73), and Kamran Ghulam (63). South Africa, chasing the target of 330, was bowled out for 248 runs.

Babar Azam Breaks Dhoni’s Record
After scoring a half-century in this match, Babar Azam broke MS Dhoni’s record for the most half-centuries against SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) across all formats. Babar now has 39 half-centuries against these countries, surpassing Dhoni’s record of 38 half-centuries in his career.

This remarkable achievement further cements Babar Azam’s status as one of the best modern-day cricketers.
