2. Rassie van der Dussen

After an excellent opening spell by the Pakistan pacers, South Africa found themselves in a big trouble at 55 for 4 in the first ODI match.

3. Quinton de Kock

South Africa’s swashbuckling wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock started with an explosive approach in the first PAK vs SA ODI. But de Kock could only manage to score 20 runs off 18 balls that included 3 fours and 1 six. However, the Proteas opener who has a brilliant record in white-ball cricket will still be a player to watch out for in the upcoming second ODI match. Quinton has an impressive record in ODIs with a fabulous tally of 5155 runs at an average of 44.44.

4. Anrich Nortje

South African speedster Anrich Nortje was surely the standout performer with the ball in the first ODI match against Pakistan. Nortje returned with excellent figures of 4 for 51 in his quota of 10 overs which included the key wickets of Babar and Imam and he was the one who triggered the Pakistani batting collapse. The Proteas fast bowler was seen constantly troubling the Pakistan batsmen with his express pace and he is expected to deliver similar impactful performance in the second match as well.
