Salman Agha Reverse Scoops Corbin Bosch (Source: @grassrootscric/X)
Salman Agha made Corbin Bosch look like a rookie bowler on Sunday when Pakistan were up against South Africa at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg for the third and final ODI of the series. The Men in Green's vice-captain played an extraordinary shot, that too by the back of his bat, and that reminded fans of Rishabh Pant, who tends to play out of the box strokes.

Salman played that unbelievable shot during the 45th over of rain-marred Pakistan’s innings, which was reduced to a 47-over affair. It was a length ball by Bosch, but Salman predetermined to play it over the keeper’s head. Eventually, the ball went over the boundary ropes, that too after the ball hit on the back of Pakistan’s middle-order batter’s bat.
Salman eventually fell to Kagiso Rabada after making 48 off 33 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes.
In the end, Pakistan closed on 308/9, with Saim Ayub making headlines with another incredible show. Babar Azam played valiantly as well, but failed to convert his fifty into a hundred. For South Africa, Kagiso Rabada was exceptional with the ball, while Marco Jansen, Kwena Maphaka, Bjorn Fortuin, and Bosch were among the other wicket-takers.
It is important to note that Pakistan have already won the series with a game to spare. After this contest, the focus will shift to a two-match Test series, which will begin on December 26.
