South Africa jubilant after earning WTC final berth

Fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen turned batting heroes on Sunday as South Africa beat Pakistan by two wickets at Centurion to become the first team to qualify for next year's World Test Championship final at Lord's.

Rabada scored 31 and Jansen 16 in an unbeaten partnership of 51 off 50 balls to see South Africa over the line and deny Pakistan a dramatic comeback victory after Mohammed Abbas took six wickets as he shredded through the home batting order.

The Test had a finish more like that of a Twenty20 match as the tailenders delivered success after South Africa had slumped dramatically before lunch and offered Pakistan the chance to win a Test in South Africa for the first time in 18 years. Rabada, who is ranked second best test bowler, emerged, however, as an unlikely batting hero while Jansen delivered the winning runs with a classy drive to the boundary, amid scenes of delirious celebration.
