In a gesture of sportsmanship, Pakistan’s middle-order batter Agha Salman gave his “Man of the Match” award to opener Saim Ayub following Pakistan’s 3-wicket win over South Africa in the first ODI held in Paarl.
Saim Ayub played a crucial role with a stunning century, while Agha Salman remained unbeaten with a solid 82 runs. The duo’s 141-run partnership off 133 balls helped Pakistan recover from a precarious 60 for 4 to 201 for 4.
Despite being named Player of the Match for his performance, Agha Salman honored the young opener by handing him the award, recognizing Saim Ayub’s remarkable contribution to the team’s victory.
