Kamran Ghulam played a brilliant knock in Pakistan’s second ODI against South Africa on December 19 at Cape Town. His 54* off just 25 balls made him the second-fastest Pakistan batter to score a fifty in South Africa in an ODI.

A Brilliant Finish by Kamran Ghulam

Kamran hit 63 runs off 32 balls, with 4 fours and 5 sixes. His strike rate was an impressive 196.87. This fast half-century came at a time when Pakistan needed quick runs. His knock included some powerful shots, helping Pakistan set a big total of 329 runs.

Kamran’s 54* off 25 balls is now the second-fastest ODI fifty by a Pakistani in South Africa. The fastest fifty is still held by Shahid Afridi, who scored 50 runs off just 20 balls in Durban back in 2007.
