Shaheen Shah Afridi's first ODI as captain took place in Faisalabad, where Pakistan won the toss and chose to field against South Africa. During South Africa's current tour, which is hosting its first men's match in 17 years in Faisalabad, the hosts won their sixth straight toss across formats.
Along with Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman rejoined the squad. Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abrar Ahmed were Pakistan's three specialist bowlers; Mohammad Nawaz, Hussain Talat, and Salman Ali Agha were their part-time substitutes.
While South Africa was a new-look team with debutants Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Sinethemba Qeshile, and Donovan Ferreira, it also saw the return of Quinton de Kock. With Corbin Bosch, Lungi Ngidi, and Lizaad Williams as seam alternatives, South Africa selected two spinners, George Linde and Bjorn Fortuin.
After suffering a low-grade shoulder muscle strain during Saturday's third Twenty20 International of the tour in Lahore, batsman Dewald Brevis was declared out of the ODI series.

SPORTSMANSHIP SHINES BRIGHT — PATRICK MAHOMES AND JOSH ALLEN STEAL POSTGAME SPOTLIGHT.
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-21 in a high-stakes NFL game. Josh Allen's balanced attack and a strong defensive scheme against Patrick Mahomes led to the win, but the postgame handshake between the QBs went viral.
Postgame Handshake Between Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes Catches Attention - COURTESY/PHOTO
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28–21 in a high-stakes game played in Orchard Park on Sunday. The postgame conversation between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes immediately made headlines. NFL fans and social media users praised the two quarterbacks for their quick handshake and appreciation of one another.
The actual game was fierce: Buffalo put a lot of pressure on Mahomes and used that power to create a defensive scheme that held Kansas City at bay at crucial times. James Cook's ground game helped the Bills control the clock late and hold onto the victory, while Allen's performance was well-balanced, combining two rushing touchdowns with deep completions. Despite their repeated efforts, Kansas City was unable to overcome Buffalo's late stops.
Following the final whistle, Mahomes and Allen collided close to the middle. Their brief, calm exchange was shared on social media as a model of sportsmanship in the face of intense rivalry. Reactions varied from praise for their professionalism to analysis of how the two herald the arrival of the league's best quarterbacks; many fans drew attention to the difference between their on-field ferocity and their off-field deference. Clips of the handshake went viral on league accounts, and commentators emphasised how these kinds of interactions make big games more relatable.
The media also emphasised the tactical plots: the Bills' explosive plays, such as a 47-yard Dalton Kincaid reception, created scoring drives, while Buffalo's pass rush continuously interfered with Mahomes's passing. The Chiefs need to improve their protection and situational performance if they want to recover from Kansas City's costly late turnovers and missed red zone opportunities, according to analysts.
Following the victory of Allen's squad over Kansas City, the NFL shared a response to a postgame exchange between Mahomes and Allen. A video posted by the league's official Instagram account illustrates this.
After the game, both quarterbacks minimised any grandstanding, with Mahomes recognising the need for his team to be more consistent and Allen emphasising that wins are won one week at a time. That shared mentality—intense rivalry followed by measured respect—became symbolised by the handshake.
The NFL will reexamine this game as the season goes on because of its competitive ramifications, and the sportsmanship moment will continue to be a highlight. Although results are important, the Mahomes-Allen exchange served as a reminder of the professional standards quarterbacks set for the league, according to both fans and analysts.
ARYNA SABALENKA’S FIGHTING WORDS IGNITE RIVALRY, NICK KYRGIOS SHOWDOWN NOW OFFICIAL.
Aryna Sabalenka vows to "kick Nick Kyrgios's a**" in the Battle of the Sexes exhibition in Dubai. Kyrgios, despite limited play, claims women can't return his serve, setting up a highly anticipated clash between the US Open champ and the Aussie showman.
Nick Kyrgios Predicts Easy Win Over Aryna Sabalenka In 'Battle Of The Sexes' - COURTESY/PHOTO
When Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios compete in the Battle of the Sexes later this year, Sabalenka has promised to try to "kick Kyrgios's a**."
The Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai has confirmed that Kyrgios, who is ranked 652nd in the men's rankings, will play women's world no. 1 Sabalenka in a one-time exhibition match on December 28.
It will be the fourth part in the Battle of the Sexes series, which gained notoriety in the 1970s after Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs' historic bout.
The 27-year-old Sabalenka enters the match having just won the US Open, capping a very successful year.
Kyrgios, meanwhile, has only participated in five matches this year and was most recently abruptly eliminated from the Miami Open second round in March.
The 30-year-old Australian, however, remains confident in his skills despite this, stating in September that Sabalenka "genuinely thinks she is going to win" even though "women can not actually return" his serves.
When the two play in December, Aryna Sabalenka has promised to try to "kick Nick Kyrgios' a**."
Sabalenka "genuinely thinks she is going to win" against him, according to 30-year-old Australian Kyrgios.
Do you honestly believe that I must give it my all?" Kyrgios stated in an interview with First and Red while addressing tennis player Alexander Bublik.
"I would say like 6-2 maybe," he continued, predicting that he would win easily.
Today, though, he declared his "huge respect" for Sabalenka, calling her a "powerhouse and a great champion."
"But I have never backpedalled from a challenge, and I am not only here to play, I am here to entertain," Kyrios continued. This is my life's purpose.
His ostensibly more derogatory remarks have already inspired Sabalenka, who brought them up while winning the US Open for the second time in a row in September.
"I believe it is a wonderful idea," she stated following the announcement of the match while vying for the US Open crown. It will be amazing to watch, in my opinion. It will be enjoyable, particularly when you are up against someone like Nick.
'Like he stated in another interview, that I honestly think that I'm going to win, and I'll surely go out there, and I'll try my best to kick his a**.'
In response to a question about whether she believed the match would benefit women's tennis, Sabalenka said, "It will be beneficial if I can win."
Kyrgios claims that "women can not truly return" his serves and has predicted that he will win easily.
His remarks served as inspiration for Sabalenka as she won the US Open for the second time this year.
"But if we do bring it, we will absolutely bring it somewhere where a lot of people will be watching, and we will put a lot of pressure on Nick."
Like its predecessors in the Battle of the Sexes, the tie is certain to garner international notice.
The first match of the same name was between American tennis veteran Riggs, who organised many exhibition matches after retiring, and former women's no. 1 Margaret Court.
First up for Riggs was Court, whom he brushed aside 6-2 and 6-1 in two sets in 1973.
However, the world's attention was drawn to the ensuing Battle of the Sexes match in Texas, when Billie Jean King defeated Riggs 6-4, 6-3, and 6-3 in back-to-back sets.
Up to 50 million people are thought to have watched the event in the United States, with a further 40 million people tuning in worldwide. In 2017, it was also turned into a movie with Emma Stone and Steve Carell.
Today, Sabalenka declared her admiration for King and her contributions to the women's game.
Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King engaged in the most notorious Battle of the Sexes in 1973.
"I am honoured to represent women's tennis and to be a part of this contemporary interpretation of the classic 'Battle of the Sexes' match," she continued.
The third Battle of the Sexes face-off was in Jimmy Connors' triumph over Martina Navratilova in 1992 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
In 1998, during an exhibition at the Australian Open, Karsen Braasch defeated Serena and Venus Williams, demonstrating the persistence of men's and women's matches across the years.
The German, wearing goggles, defeated Venus 6-2 in the second set after defeating Serena 6-1 in the first. Both of the sisters had asserted that they could defeat any man who was not in the top 200.
