00:00Finals for the Mandela Trophy, they were contested between favourites Pakistan, they won five

00:06of their six qualifying matches, the only blip they had was when they were heavily beaten,

00:11that was at Wanderers in Johannesburg by South Africa, and the home nation, South Africa.

00:16They got there with great difficulty, because having won their first three qualifying games

00:21in a row, they then ran up against Pakistan at their brilliant best, down they went, that

00:26was no surprise, but what was a surprise was when suddenly Sri Lanka got the better of

00:31them.

00:32Now that threw the whole tournament wide open, and it all ended in a thrilling climax in the

00:35qualifying stages with a winner-take-all match in Port Elizabeth between South Africa and

00:40Sri Lanka.

00:41South Africa won the toss, and in the end they won the game, but had they lost the toss,

00:45you feel they must have lost the game, because rain interrupted and spoiled it.

00:49Nevertheless, South Africa got there.

00:51So, the first of these two finals taking place at lovely Newlands, Salim Malik, he won an important

00:57toss in the first leg at Newlands, but surprisingly fielded first, thus playing to South Africa's

01:03strengths.

01:04Their batsmen don't chase well, and their bowling and tigerish fielding skills enable them to

01:08defend even a moderate-looking total.

01:11Even so, Pakistan should still have won that first leg after the home-side slumped from

01:16193 for 4 to 215 all-out.

01:19Three run-outs in 11 balls and three wickets for Wacky Yunus in five balls produced a total

01:25loss of six wickets for 22 runs in 30 deliveries.

01:29When Amir Sahail topped several dazzling previous innings in the tournament with a blitz of nine

01:34fours in his first 23 balls, most of them off Stephen Jack, who went for 29 in his first

01:39two overs, Pakistan was sprinting to victory.

01:4350 came up in eight overs, Sahail's sixth 50 in eight innings in the tournament came out

01:49of 65 in only 41 balls, and at 101 for two in the 22nd over, South Africa were nearly through

01:57the ropes, until Malik was brilliantly thrown out by Kirsten to bring the closest yet decision

02:03made by a third umpire.

02:05More than most sides, the Pakistan fingers are often dangerously close to the self-destruct

02:10button, and this time they excelled themselves.

02:13Sahail and Latif ran themselves out to, of all people, John T. Rhodes, and with Ejaz and

02:18Bazid Ali slogging their wickets away needlessly, there was no way back from the 133 for 7 in

02:24the 34th over.

02:25And so to the second leg, where Salim Malik, having been made to pay heavily for what looked

02:31to everybody to be an error in judgement after winning the toss and putting South Africa

02:35in, that was played at the Wanderers.

02:37Yet again Salim Malik won the toss, and even more surprisingly this time, bearing in mind

02:43the fact that rain was about, and therefore that is heavily weighted against the side batting

02:48second, he did it again.

02:49He took a vote among his players, it seemingly was 8-3 in favour of batting, he took no notice,

02:54he won the toss, much to Hansi Cronje's surprise and pleasure, South Africa were put into bat.

03:00Let's see what happened.

03:01Mike Rindle was promoted to open the innings, and he and Kirsten established a new South African

03:06first wicket record stand of 190 in 38 overs.

03:10The two left-handers attacked with 17 boundaries between them, and Wazim Akram and Waka Yunis,

03:15two of the world's best, were punished for combined figures of 19 overs, 1 maiden, 2 for

03:21104.

03:22Rindle's maiden 100, 105 off 139 balls, and Kirsten's 87 from 111 balls enabled Cronje's

03:31runner ball 37 to nail down a big score of 266 for 5.

03:35Gettable?

03:36Well yes, until de Villiers and Donald, back in international cricket for the first time

03:41in five months, sent Pakistan crashing to 42 for 6 in 12 overs, and the game was won

03:47and lost.

03:48De Villiers got Sahail, possibly an unlucky LBW decision, as he might have hit it.

03:53Ejaz and Sanwa also went to de Villiers, that little spell of three wickets and 11 balls,

03:59and Donald whipped out Malik, Inzamam and Latif in 12.

04:02Richardson?

04:03He took five catches, Rhodes got another run out, Akram, and the humiliation was complete.

04:09The Nelson Mandela trophy, named after the state president who watched part of the game,

04:13and that went to Cronje to complete a great six weeks for South Africa's new captain.

04:18He led his side to a 2-1 series win against New Zealand from 1-0 down, the first such comeback

04:24in the 20th century, and the third in test history.

04:27He followed that with this emphatic 2-0 defeat of the World Cup holders.

04:31Highlights of the 12 round Robin games in which South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka

04:37played each other twice, included 432 runs from 530 balls.

04:43That was by man of the series, Amir Sahail, and there were hundreds from Dave Callaghan, and also

04:49Arjuna Ranatunga, Adam Pirori, Ejaz Ahmed, Ken Rutherford, and Callaghan's unbeaten 169 against New Zealand.

04:57That was at Centurion Park.

04:59That was the fifth highest ever one-day international score, and the second highest in a 50-overs game.

05:05Bowling highlights were fewer, with Waka Yunis the star turn for his 21 wickets in eight games,

05:11including a magnificent clean-bowled hat-trick against New Zealand in East London.

05:15It might only have been a tail-end trio, but each time the ball moved considerably at top pace,

05:20and the three deliveries would have beaten most top batsmen.

05:23So, a successful tournament, with South Africa proving again that resilience and strength of character

05:29can beat brilliant, but often erratic cricket.
