PAK vs SA, 2nd ODI, Lahore : Pakistan beat South Africa by 25 runs

Pakistan beat South Africa by 25 runs in the second one-day international at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday.
Earlier, a fine century (117) by middle-order batsman Mohammad Yousuf - his 13th in ODIs - guided Pakistan to 265-9 in 50 overs. Pakistan's decision to bat first met with disaster as they lost opener Kamran Akmal for a duck in the first over to Shaun Pollock. Soon, the other opener Imaran Nazir perished for 2 in the 6th over, leaving the hosts in trouble at 13/2. Nazir was scalped by the dangerous Mkhaya Ntini.
Younus Khan, who had notched up twin centuries in the Test series made 32 and seemed well set during his 60-run partenrship with Yousuf, but the former was run out in the 19th over. With a big partnership needed by Pakistan at this stage, skipper Shoaib Malik who joined Yousuf provided the necessary impetus during his 52-ball 56 and fired four sixes to raise a 107-run stand for the 4th wicket in 19.1 overs.
Malik fell to Charl Langeveldt in the 38th over, leaving Pakistan with an ideal platform to launch an attack in the final 12 overs, but the lower middle order failed to respond as the hosts lost quick wickets towards the close to help the Proteas to restrict their opponents to 265. Misbah-ul-Haq made 21 but Shahid Afridi scored only six while it was left to Yousuf to ensure that Pakistan managed to get past 250. Yousuf, who was the 7th man out scored 117 off 143 deliveries and hit nine boundaries. For South Africa, Makhaya Ntini, Albie Morkel and Charl Langeveldt claimed two wickets each while Shaun Pollock and Jacques Kallis managed one wicket apiece.
