Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan have both struck centuries as Pakistan completed their highest successful run-chase in one-day internationals with a six-wicket win over South Africa in a Tri-Nation Series fixture in Karachi.

South Africa, without several first-team regulars, batted first on a flat wicket on Wednesday and, helped by a lightning quick outfield, amassed 5-352 in their 50 overs on the back of half-centuries from captain Temba Bavuma (82), Matthew Breetzke (83) and Heinrich Klaasen (87).

Pakistan looked unlikely to make it when 3-91 in reply, but a magnificent 260-run fourth-wicket stand between Agha (134), who scored his maiden ODI ton, and Mohammad Rizwan (122no) took Pakistan to victory with six balls to spare.

It beat their previous highest successful run chase of 349 against Australia in Lahore in 2022 and will provide a boost in confidence as they prepare to host the Champions Trophy starting in a week.

They'll next play New Zealand in the Tri-Nations final in Karachi on Friday.
