BENONI, South Africa: South Africa beat Pakistan by six wickets in the fifth and final one-day international at Willowmoore Park yesterday to win the series 3-2.
South African captain AB de Villiers hit an unbeaten 95 to help guide his side past Pakistan’s 205 all out.
De Villiers, who was dropped on one, overcame some hostile bowling on an unpredictable pitch as South Africa chased down the Pakistani total with six overs to spare.
For Pakistan, wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal scored 48 while four players reached 20s but none went to manage a long innings.
