Fatima brought up her fifth ODI half-century and remained unbeaten.<br \/>\nFor the Proteas, Sune Luus bagged 3-42 while Nonkululeko Mlaba returned figures of 2-56.<br \/>\nIn reply, Tasmia Rubab (1-19) provided Pakistan with the first breakthrough as she dismissed Tazmin Brits in her first over.Fatima continued the momentum with her pace as she bagged the scalps of her counterpart Laura Wolvaardt and Luus for a duck in space of three deliveries to reduce the hosts to 7-3 after two overs.<br \/>\nFirst drop Faye Tunnicliffe (47) and top-scorer Annerie Dercksen (54) then stitched an 85-run alliance for the fourth wicket, before the former was out caught and bowled by Nashra Sundhu (2-25).Sinalo Jafta (33) joined Dercksen at the crease and put together 50 runs before being removed by Sadia.<br \/>\nUmm-e-Hani (2-35) sent Dercksen back in the hut six deliveries later to leave the hosts 147-6 after 27 overs. Sadia struck again in the 30th over to dismiss Nadine de Klerk before Umm-e-Hani bagged her second wicket to remove Chloe Tryon as Pakistan sealed the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DURBAN Sadaf Shamas starred with the bat while skipper Fatima Sana delivered an all-round show to help Pakistan women thrash South Africa in the third and final One-day International for a 119-run consolation victory at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground on Sunday.
