It's South Africa who are normally weighed down by the word 'choke' but Pakistan did just that in the final stages of their run-chase in Lahore, freezing at the threshold of an important series win. The game was in the bag when 36 were needed in the last ten overs with six wickets standing. But Pakistan contrived to surrender the game in a display of late-order batting that was both panicky and reckless. The 14-run win showed the close nature of the series and it could have easily swung either way.
South Africa 233 for 9 (Kallis 86, Gibbs 54, Shoaib 4-43) beat Pakistan 219 (Younis 58, Yousuf 53, Morkel 4-44, Ntini 4-61 ) by 14 runs
