Younis struck his first one-day international century on home soil to take Pakistan to an eight-wicket win.
Younis's undefeated 123, his fifth one-day century in 174 matches, gave Pakistan their fifth victory while chasing 300 or more runs for victory and revived their fading hopes of a place in the final.
Younis shared partnerships of 56 with Nasir Jamshed (53), who retired hurt with cramps, for the second wicket and an undefeated 144 from 123 balls for the third with captain Misbah-ul-Haq (70 not out).
Younis also passed 5,000 international one-day runs in his innings of 117 balls which contained 11 fours and one six.
