South African Twenty20 captain Faf du Plessis has said that he was happy with his side's 2-0 series win against Pakistan in Dubai on Friday, which was made possible by his team's never-say-die performances.

According to Sport24, the tour-ending clash saw Pakistan collapse once more, ending with 144-9 in pursuit of a 151-run target.

Du Plessis said that the battling finishes against Pakistan showed once again that the Proteas had finally shed the old image of them being chokers, according to the report.

South Africa has never won a major international tournament other than a Champions Trophy title in 1998, the report added.

Du Plessis said he believed his team had proved that they could do well in pressure situations, the report mentioned.

Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez admitted his team was in a difficult situation, the report said.
