Jacques Kallis scored a half-century and took three wickets to inspire South Africa to a 57-run win over Pakistan and a 3-2 victory in the one-day series.

South Africa reached 317-5 for its highest total in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat. Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and JP Duminy also chipped in with half-centuries.

Pakistan began the run chase strongly, with Mohammad Hafeez and Shahzaib Hasan teaming up for an 82-run partnership for the first-wicket.

But after that, the top order collapsed with Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Fawad Alam scoring a measly seven runs between them. Umar Akmal and Abdul Razzaq gave Pakistan some late hope with 60 for the seventh-wicket but it wasn’t enough.
