Fourth ODI at Multan

PAK vs SA, 4th ODI, Multan : South Africa beat Pakistan by 7 wickets (SA 2:2)

Sparkling half centuries from Graeme Smith and Shaun Pollock set South Africa up for a comfortable seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the fourth one-day international to level the series on Friday.
South Africa easily chased down Pakistan's 230 for nine with 74 balls to spare to leave the series tied at 2-2 with the final game to be played in Lahore on Monday. Pollock, whose 90 was his highest score for South Africa, and Smith, who scored 81, put on a record partnership of 159 from 157 balls for the second wicket, surpassing the 155 by AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis against Pakistan this year at Johannesburg.
Both were out just three runs short of victory, pacer Rao Iftikhar having them caught in the deep in successive overs. South Africa were given a blistering start by Gibbs who powered 39 from 35 balls including seven fours, three of them in one over from Gul.
Man-of-the-match Pollock relished the chance to bat up the order, closing the issue with some sensible hitting. Pakistan, having elected to bat, could not post a competitive total on a good pitch although Younis Khan scored a valiant 82 from 110 balls punctuated with six fours and two sixes.
