S Africa stun Pakistan in decider

FIFTH ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL, Lahore:
South Africa 233-9 (50 overs) bt Pakistan 219 (46.3 overs) by 14 runs

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.
