Younis-inspired Pakistan shock South Africa

DUBAI, Nov 6 (AFP) - Pakistan tail-end batsman Zulqarnain Haider and Wahab Riaz pulled off a sensational one wicket win for their team over South Africa in the fourth one-day match after Younis Khan's fifty here on Friday.

Younis's sedate 73 built Pakistan's run-chase but they owed it to their tail-enders Haider (19 not out) and Riaz (18) as they put on 28 runs for the ninth wicket to help their team chase down a challenging 275-run target.

Fit-again Graeme Smith played a captain's knock of 92 to steer South Africa to a challenging 274-6 but once again his team choked in the final moments despite having grabbed all top wickets.

Pakistan still needed 31 when they lost Abdul Razzaq (33) - whose robust 72-ball 109 not out which shocked South Africa by one wicket in the second match in Abu Dhabi - but Haider and Riaz held their nerves.
