Pakistan raced to victory in the Pink Day game at the Wanderers last night, wrapping up a 3-0 clean sweep in the three-match one-day international (ODI) series against South Africa.
In a rain-disrupted match, the tourists earned a 36-run win on the DLS method.
Set a slightly adjusted target of 308 runs to win, the Proteas top order were unable to kick on after some of them got off to starts, and they found themselves struggling at 123/5 in the 21st over of their innings.
Middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen continued to flaunt his form, putting up a fight with his ninth career half-century and his third fifty of the series, as he contributed 81 runs off just 43 balls in an impressive knock which featured 12 fours and two sixes.
