Saim Ayub and Salman Agha are surely going to have bright future with Pakistani team as they are playing with good skills and good cricketing mind which is important for Pakistani team because players like these can bring good results against top teams in any condition.

Another day, another game and another century for one of the best player, Saim Ayub. He scored century in the first one day match and now once again he made 101 runs. By the way, this series was so good for Saim Ayub to create his amazing records and to do something new for the first time in his entire career.

On T20, he went to 98 and was disappointed because cannot complete his century and after that he got a golden chance to make his achievement complete in the one day and yesterday another one. Such a great moment for the young man.

Saim Ayub and Shafique are the perfect opening pair for Pakistan. Although Shafique has not improved his performance in several matches, I think he will continue to shine in the next matches. The problem with Pakistan was that if Babar Azam and Rizwan lost their wickets, no one could pull the match back, but from there they have definitely made a good opening pair. If Saim Ayub can play such big innings, then it will not be easy for others to defeat for Pakistan team. Saim Ayub has only played 9 ODIs in international cricket, out of which he has scored 3 centuries. Since he has just joined cricket, Pakistan cricket will definitely get a lot from him.

I don't think this opening pair of Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub is best for the Pakistan team. Abdullah Shafique had a disappointing performance in the ODI format. He didn't score in the series against South Africa. He got out in the same style in all three matches and their average was just 32 runs in 22 ODI innings. Pakistan team selectors should include Fakhar Zaman in playing XI, and the opening pair of Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman is wonderful. If this happens, then Pakistan will beat any team in the world. Fakhar Zaman is one of those players who changed the match single-handedly, and the Pakistan team needs a power hitter bastman in the team. Fakhar Zaman got the nine time man of the match award and won the match with the Pakistan team with his batting performance in the ODI format. Pakistan selectors should replace Abdullah Shafique with Fakhar Zaman before the start champion trophy.
