India's batsman Yusuf Pathan leaves the field after he was caught out by South Africa's Faf du Plessis during their fifth and final ODI in Centurion Sunday. (Reuters) CENTURION: Yusuf Pathan's blistering century proved in vain for India as South Africa won the fifth and decisive One-Day International by 33 runs Sunday to take the series 3-2. Morne Morkel bagged four wickets and Dale Steyn and Lonwabo Tsotsobe two apiece for the host which dismissed India for 234. India had been set a Duckworth/Lewis revised target of 268 to win in 46 overs following a rain delay. India was in desperate trouble at 119-8 before Pathan resurrected its hopes by thumping 105 off 70 balls – the fastest ever for India against South Africa. Hashim Amla had earlier batted through the South African innings, his 116 not out anchoring a total of 250-9 in 46 overs. The pace and aggression of Morkel and Steyn undermined the Indian innings until Pathan staged a classic counter-attack. The powerful right-hander slammed eight fours and eight sixes in his remarkable innings before Man of the Series Morkel eventually ended the entertainment when he had Pathan caught at mid-off after a skied drive. Because South Africa's innings was interrupted by rain on 226-3 after 42 overs, the Duckworth/Lewis calculation handed the home team an extra 17 runs. South Africa's innings ended in turmoil after the 78-minute delay, the hosts losing six wickets for 19 runs in four overs, including two run outs. Amla shared a stand of 97 for the second wicket with Morne van Wyk (56) and added 102 for the fourth with JP Duminy (35).
