This series marks Mohammad Rizwan’s third assignment as Pakistan’s ODI captain.
His first assignment was on tour of Australia, where they play a three-match ODI series.
He successfully guided the team to a 2-1 series victory, Pakistan’s first series win on Australian soil in 22 years. Rizwan’s second assignment was against Zimbabwe, where the Men in Green triumphed 2-1 in a three-match ODI series.
However, the start of the South Africa tour has not been kind to Pakistan, with the team losing the three-match T20I series 2-0.
