Alongside Ayub, Virat Kohli, David Warner, Fakhar Zaman, and Joe Root have achieved the same feat, while Kevin Pietersen and Kohli have three centuries in South Africa. Ayub’s performance helped Pakistan become the first team to whitewash South Africa in an ODI series on their home soil. After losing Abdullah Shafique early, Ayub formed key partnerships with Babar Azam (52) and Mohammad Rizwan (53), putting on 114 for the second wicket and 93 for the third. His knock was filled with aggressive strokeplay, including 13 boundaries and two sixes. Ayub's innings came to an end when he was caught behind off debutant Corbin Bosch, but his efforts laid the foundation for Pakistan's dominant total.

However, Pakistan's bowlers, led by Sufiyan Muqeem (4/52), kept the hosts in check, dismissing them for 271. With this victory, Pakistan completed a clean sweep, winning the three-match series 3-0 after a thrilling 81-run victory in the second ODI and a three-wicket win in the opening match.
