I know they have got all 10 wickets standing but it is coming down to run a ball and the match could yet go to the very last over.

SA v Pak: Second place up for grabs in ODI ratings
By A Special Correspondent
London, October 2, 2003
A 5-0 win against South Africa in the One Day International series starting in Lahore tomorrow will lift Pakistan above their opponents to second in the official ODI ratings.
A series whitewash would see Pakistan’s rating climb to 114 while South Africa’s would fall to 110. Pakistan are currently fourth in the ICC ODI Championship table with a rating of 107 and even a 3-2 or 4-1 series victory on home soil against South Africa will lift them above England to third in the standings.
Success for South Africa in the rescheduled tour will help them edge closer to leaders Australia, but even if the Proteas win all their matches their rating will only increase from 118 to 123 – still 12 behind the runaway leaders.
A convincing South Africa series win would reduce Pakistan’s rating and position in the table. With only three points currently separating the ratings of the middle six sides in the standings, a 4-1 away win would see Pakistan fall to seventh in the table, while a 5-0 thrashing would push them down to eighth behind all teams except Zimbabwe, Kenya and Bangladesh.
Pos Team Rating
1 Australia 135
2 South Africa 118
3 England 107
4 Pakistan 107
5 West Indies 106
6 New Zealand 106
7 Sri Lanka 105
8 India 104
9 Zimbabwe 63
10 Kenya 28
11 Bangladesh 0
Clive Lloyd from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Referees will officiate on the series while Darrell Hair from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires will stand in all five matches alongside officials appointed by the home board PCB.
This will be the first series to use the Professional Edition of the Duckworth/Lewis method of target resetting.
Under the existing Duckworth-Lewis system, victory targets are revised in rain-affected one-day games. New targets are based on how many overs a side has left to bat and how many wickets have already fallen.
However, this year’s World Cup final between Australia and India at The Wanderers in Johannesburg underlined the system’s weakness when the side batting first posts a huge total.
Australia, who went on to win the March 23 final by a crushing 125 runs, raced to a record 359 for two in their 50 overs after being unexpectedly asked to bat first by India captain Saurav Ganguly.
India, in reply, were bowled out for 234 in 39.2 overs, but had hopes of snatching an unlikely victory when storm clouds gathered over Johannesburg after they had made a bright start.
“With rain threatening, India, on 145 for 3 after 23 overs, were only four runs behind par,” said Frank Duckworth, one of the inventors of the D/L system.
"Losing no more wickets and scoring 12 runs in the next two overs, followed by a terminal downpour, would have handed the title to India.
“We have always been aware that, when the total set by the team batting first is much greater than average, revised targets and par scores can sometimes seem unrealistic,” Duckworth added.
“We have had the answer to this problem available for use for several years,” explained co-inventor Tony Lewis.
“Using the Professional Edition of the D/L method, India would have been 20 runs behind par – a much fairer reflection of the state of the game.
“With this system a team aiming at a very high total has to score at much closer to the required rate for most of the chase. This means the tables have to be adjusted to suit the target,” Mr Lewis added.
This adjustment cannot be undertaken manually and so the Professional Edition is entirely computerised, a change that has been endorsed by the ICC’s General Manager – Cricket, David Richardson.
“The ICC believes that this change ensures that the system is now more accurate in setting targets in high scoring matches,” said Mr Richardson.
“Teams and media will still receive sheets outlining the par score at the interval and after any subsequent rain delays and, where the facilities permit, scoreboards will also show the par score.”
The D/L method of target resetting has been used for all ODI cricket since May 1999 and is widely recognised as a fair way of dealing with interrupted matches. The tables that are part of the D/L method are based on the average of scoring patterns over many matches.
The existing Standard Edition of D/L, which can be calculated manually, will still be available for domestic competitions and at grounds where computers are not available.

SA requires 140 runs from 132 balls.
Keep an eye on this, it will put pressure on SA.
We haven't lost it yet. :)
I guess that the RR will slow down a bit...
the run rate can go upto 8 as long as SA has wkts in hand, they will make it. If we take 2 more wkts and run rate is around 7-8, then we have a chance.
And thankGod, Klusener is not playing 
if pak can stop SA from hitting boundries, we can still win. inshalah
