With this win, South Africa [ Images ] has sealed the two match series 2-0, the Sydney [ Images ] Morning Herald reports.

Thereafter South African captain Graeme Smith [ Images ] (38) and middle order bats Colin Ingram (31) and Jean-Paul Duminy [ Images ] (19 not out) took their team to victory in a canter with eight balls to spare.
For Pakistan, only Misbah-ul-Haq scored a resolute 38-ball 33, hitting two boundaries and a six.
Abdul Razzaq [ Images ] (25) was the other main scorer for Pakistan.
