Rashid Latif has resigned as Pakistan captain!

My tip for the series is 5-0 to South Africa. Only if the batsman can perform consistently

That's a bit farfetched!

I'll predict a narrow victory for South Africa (3-2) because Pakistan have an immense home advantage and Inzamam and Shoaib have been performing well recently.

Otherwise, the Pakistani team seems to be suffering from internal troubles, with Latif resigning and all.
