CRICKET: Pakistan humiliated

South Africa secured the Mandela Trophy with a match to spare yesterday as they thrashed Pakistan by 157 runs at Johannesburg.

Replying to South Africa's imposing total of 266 for 5, Pakistan were shot out for 109 in just 32.3 overs. Fanie de Villiers, with a wicket in each of his first three overs, and Allan Donald, back in the side after a five-month absence through injury, were the men responsible, and only a stand of 55 between Wasim Akram and Asif Mujtaba saved Pakistan from total humiliation.

Earlier Mike Rindel's maiden century in only his seventh match spearheaded South Africa's charge to 266 for 5.
