Pakistan defeated South Africa in the 1st ODI thanks to individual performances from Saim Ayub (109) and Salman Agha's all-round performance that included a four-for and an unbeaten 82 that helped the Men In Green take the lead in the three-match series. (More Cricket News)

Salman’s unbeaten 82 from 90 balls finished off Pakistan’s well-paced victory by three wickets with three balls remaining.

"It is a great honour to be nominated for the FIH Player of the Year Award again," the Indian defender stated in a Hockey India release.

Pakistan’s chase of 240 was in deep trouble at 60-4 in the 20th over. Then Salman was dropped behind the wickets on 6 off Aiden Markram. But he didn’t offer another chance.

Salman was initially supporting opener Saim Ayub to rescue their side.

Saim, who was stranded on 98 not out in a Twenty20 last Friday, achieved his second ODI century. He was out for 109 off 119 balls, caught at fine leg after pulling Kagiso Rabada.

The second ODI is on Thursday in Cape Town.
