Fakhar Zaman posted a century once more to help Pakistan post a strong target of 320/7 in the third ODI against South Africa after both the countries are tied at 1-1 in the series with Pakistan winning the first match and South Africa forcing a win in the second match. Zaman partnered with Imamul Haq to post an opening stand of 112 runs after they batted first.
South Africa could not clinch wickets at the start against their strong form and Imam posted a half-century as well until Keshav Maharaj dismissed him at 57 but Fakhar remained firm and struck his second century of the series in just 99 balls. Later Babar took charge for the Men in Green but could not complete his century and was dismissed at 94 but helped Pakistan move past the 300 marks before.
