The win gives Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-match series with the remaining matches at the same venue on Sunday and Tuesday. They also claim 10 points in the World Cup One-Day Super League, which determines qualifiers for the next World Cup in 2023. Afridi had given Pakistan two early breakthroughs by bowling Brian Chari (two) and skipper Chamu Chibhabha (13) by the fifth over. With this match, Pakistan's Aleem Dar equalled South African umpire Rudi Koertzen's record of officiating the most ODIs, with 209. After the game, captain Azam was full of praise for Taylor's innings, as well as his own side's performance.
