After drawing the Test series 1-1 and winning the T20Is 2-1, Pakistan beat South Africa in the ODI series 2-1 as well to cap off the all-format tour. 

The first ODI was a thriller, where Pakistan chased down 264 with two wickets and two balls remaining. Roles were reversed in the second game, where a superb hundred by the returning Quinton de Kock took South Africa home in a run-chase of 270 with eight wickets in hand.

The final game turned out to be a one-sided affair as well, this time in the hosts' favour. Pakistan spinners spun a web to bowl South Africa out for 143 despite an opening stand of 72. They made short work of the small chase, winning by seven wickets to seal the series.
