Pakistan chased down the 165-run target without breaking much sweat. Imam-ul-Haq continued his good form and stroked a fine 71 to ensure Usman Khan's four-fer didn't go in vain. Pakistan level the five-match series 2-2 going into the decider, with an 8-wicket win - their first at the Wanderers.

Imam, Imam, Iman! With one run needed, Imam ul Haq decided to go for a glory shot, something that he missed a few times in the previous over, and got a faint edge to the 'keeper. Andile Phehlukwayo is smiling. One more wicket to his credit!

Fifty for Imam: His third fifty-plus score of the series!The partnership between him and Babar has also crossed the fifty mark. Babar, like was the case in the last game, has been a busy player, scoring at marginally below run-a-ball.

WICKET: Fakhar might have managed his best score of the tour but couldn't convert it into a fifty. Imran Tahir gets his team the breakthrough, after the opening partnership has reached 70, and then does a weird, mock shoe-call celebration with Shamsi in the dug-out.

FIFTY STAND: It's been a good start for Pakistan so far, despite the minor hiccups in between (read: edges flying past fielders/stumps). In other news, Fakhar Zaman has his personal best score of the series thus far, across formats.

Right then. We're back on. Pakstan's target is 165, and the good news is, sun is peeking out.

Hello and welcome

South Africa have never been beaten in a Pink ODI and their scoring rate per over jumps to seven from an overall 5.71. With that, their highest ever ODI total was also scored when they wore pink. Keeping that in mind, their 2-1 lead in the five-match series, Pakistan are in for a tough Sunday. But the visitors will know that they are not too far away from beating South Africa.
