A superb all-round display from Andile Phehlukwayo has helped South Africa to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in their second one-day international.

Phehlukwayo claimed 4-22 as Pakistan were bowled out for 203 before he hit an unbeaten 69 and added an unbroken 127 with Rassie Van Der Dussen (80 not out) to lead the hosts to victory in Durban to level the series on Tuesday.

The tourists never got going in their innings as wickets fell at regular intervals and it was only some lower-order hitting from Hasan Ali, who struck three sixes and five fours in his 59 that allowed them to get up above 200.

Phehlukwayo was the pick of the South African attack but left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi also kept the visitors in check with 3-56.

The Proteas then made hard work of the chase as three quick wickets from Shaheen Afridi (3-44) saw them slip to 3-29.

Shadab Khan then claimed two of his own as the Proteas wobbled on 5-80 before Van Der Dussen and Phehlukwayo came to rescue to guide them home with eight overs to spare.
