FIFTH ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL, Lahore:
South Africa 233-9 (50 overs) bt Pakistan 219 (46.3 overs) by 14 runs
Scorecard
Pakistan collapsed dramatically to hand South Africa a 14-run victory and a 3-2 triumph in their one-day series.
South Africa made 233-9, thanks largely to Jacques Kallis' patient 86, with Shoaib Akhtar claiming 4-43 in his first game following a 13-match ban.
With Younus Khan (58) and Mohammad Yousuf (53) going well in a stand of 106 Pakistan were set for an easy win.
But Makhaya Ntini and Albie Morkel took four wickets each as they lost 6-20 to be bowled out with 21 balls remaining.
Earlier, the Proteas made a poor start after Graeme Smith won the toss, the skipper seeing his off-stump clipped by the first delivery he faced from Shoaib.
It would have been 13-2 had wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal not dropped a regulation chance off the speedster when Kallis was on two.
The star all-rounder, who had endured a miserable time previously in the series, bounced back to hit four fours and a straight six off Rao Iftikhar Anjum. He put on 80 with Herschelle Gibbs, who hit 10 boundaries in his fine 54, and 75 with JP Duminy (44) but they and Shaun Pollock fell to Anjum (3-45) before Shoaib returned to strike three more times.
After he removed Mark Boucher, Shoaib Mallik took a brilliant running catch to account for Kallis, while Morkel was bowled as South Africa lost six wickets for 56 runs in the last 10 overs.
After the early departures of Imran Nazir and Akmal, Younus and Yousuf (53) steadied the home side with a partnership spanning 134 balls.
But Younis was caught at deep mid-wicket by Morkel off Pollock and part-time spinner Duminy saw Yousuf slash a wide ball behind three overs lately to turn the game on its head.
Captain Malik was clean bowled by Morkel for 23, while the rest were undone by swinging deliveries and some spectacular catching in the outfield to leave most of the 28,000-strong crowd disappointed. QC
