South Africa beat Pakistan by six wickets in the second Twenty20 in Lahore Saturday, levelling the three-match series at 1-1.
Pite van Biljon and Reeza Hendricks both scored 42 as South Africa chased down a modest 145-run target in just 16.2 overs.
Fast bowler Dwaine Pretorius took 5/17 as Pakistan - sent in to bat - made 144/7 with wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan scoring 51.
Pretorius recorded the best bowling figure for a South African bowler in the shortest format.
Rizwan's 64-ball 104 not out featured six boundaries and seven sixes -- the most maximums by a Pakistan batsman in a T20I -- to lift the hosts to 169-6
