Yuvraj Singh's unbeaten 61 saw India to a six-wicket win against South Africa in the third one-day international at Stormont, a victory that secured the series 2-1.

India, chasing 149 to win, finished on 152 for four with four balls to spare in a match reduced by rain to 31 overs per side.

They slumped to 38 for three before a stand of 70 between captain Rahul Dravid (36) and Yuvraj Singh brought them back into the match.

Earlier, South Africa were indebted to a fifth-wicket stand of 99 between Herschelle Gibbs (56) and Justin Kemp (61) after they had collapsed to 28 for four.

India are due to play Pakistan in a one-day international in Glasgow on Tuesday before facing England in three Tests and seven one-day internationals from 19 July to 8 September.

South Africa travel to neighbours Zimbabwe for a one-day international series in August. They then host the inaugural World Twenty20 in September.
