South Africa has won a bilateral Twenty20 cricket series for the first time in more than two years after it chased down Pakistan’s 206 in Centurion.

The third and last Twenty20 between South Africa and Pakistan was washed out on Saturday at the Wanderers. Match officials waited two hours after the scheduled late-afternoon start before abandoning the game without a ball bowled due to rain and lightning.
