CAPE TOWN: Pakistan lost the three-Test series after South Africa recorded their second consecutive win by four wickets here at the New Lands on Sunday.
Chasing 182, South Africa completed their victory before the end of the fourth day, losing six wickets.
Off-break bowler Saeed Ajmal bagged four wickets for 51 runs finishing the match figures of ten for 147. This was his third ten-wicket haul in Test cricket.
However, South African Robin Peterson was adjudged the Man-of-the-Match for his allround performance as he made a valuable 84 in the first innings and five wickets in the match.
South Africa, who had won the first Test by a huge margin of 211 runs at Johannesburg last week, lead the series 2-0 with the third and final Test to be played at Centurion from February 22.
