Fakhar Zaman made a strong comeback into the Pakistan ODI side in the first game of the tri-series with a swashbuckling fifty. He is an aggressive batter and displayed that again in the second game against South Africa, hitting six four and a maximum in his knock. However, he could not carry on his form and ended up losing his wicket at a critical juncture of the game.

Fakhar Zaman who batting well tried to punch it away, but he could manage only an outside edge and Heinrich Klaasen behind the stumps dived to his left to grab a brilliant catch.
