Kallis wrecks Pakistan’s hopes of consolation win
CAPE TOWN, Dec 19: Jacques Kallis wrecked Pakistan’s hopes of a consolation victory by taking five wickets as South Africa won the fifth and final One-day International by 34 runs at Newlands here on Wednesday (partly reported in Thursday’s edition).
Kallis ended a century stand between Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younis Khan, which had put Pakistan in a strong position, then cleaned up the tail as South Africa won the five-match series 4-1.
Inzamam (63 off 80 balls with four fours) and Younis (72 off 81 balls with eight fours) took Pakistan to within striking distance of a target of 266 and were scoring freely when Inzamam was fifth man out with the total on 189 in the 40th over. The pair put on 108 off 123 balls.
Inzamam pulled a short ball from Kallis to Man-of-the-Series, South African captain Shaun Pollock, who held a sharp catch at midwicket. Kallis followed up by having Abdul Razzaq caught behind.
Pakistan’s hopes plummeted when Younis was run out and Kallis struck twice more as Pakistan lost their last six wickets for 42 runs. Kallis had figures of five for 41.
Pakistan made a disastrous start with Salim Elahi and Faisal Iqbal out without scoring in the first two overs but Yousuf Youhana made an impressive 46 before Inzamam and Younis came together.
Earlier, South Africa’s total was set up by a 134-run partnership between Boeta Dippenaar (93) and Jonty Rhodes (81) after the home side recovered from a poor start. With Mark Boucher contributing a quickfire 34 off 16 balls, South Africa made 265 for eight after they had been struggling at 61 for three.
