EAST LONDON, February 8: Border took just 20 overs today to score the 73 runs they needed to complete a historic first victory over a touring side but Pakistan manager Haroon Rasheed was more concerned by a spate of injuries.Four of the touring team finished the match off the field with various problems. Haroon was hopeful all would be fit for Friday's first test against South Africa but he said it would be a few days before they had a clear idea of the extent of the injuries.Skipper Rashid Latif has a ricked neck, Waqar Younis (side strain), Saeed Anwar(shin & ankle problem) and Shoaib Akhtar (knee injury).An undefeated 41 from 36 balls by home skipper Pieter Strydom allowed Border to reach 113 for five and complete their first victory over a touring side at the 24th attempt.ScoreboardPakistan (1st innings) 232Border (1st innings) 244Pakistan (2nd innings) 124Border (2nd innings) (overnight 39-2)Scores: P Botha b Mahmood 0, B White c Mahmoodÿb Saqlain 9, W Wiblin c Khan bAkhtar 11, S Pop b Saqlain 4, M Boucher c (sub) Haq b Akhtar 12, P Strydom not out 41, L Ngece not out 0.Extras: (b5, lb1) 6Total: (for five wkts) 113Fall of wickets: 1-0, 2-33, 3-41, 4-56, 5-100 Bowling: Azhar Mahmood 7.4-1-32-1, Shoaib Akhtar 11.2-1-49-2, Saqlain Mushtaq 10-4-26-2.
