0.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Back of a length, around off, with a hint of away shape and bounce. Wiaan Mulder doesn't move his feet much and pokes at it away from his body. Doesn't get beaten this time and manages an outside edge to the left of Tim Robinson at first slip for a regulation catch. Kyle Jamieson straight into the wickets and the Proteas are 0/1. 0/1

| Tony de Zorzi | 23 | 21 | 3 | 1 | 109.52 |
|
10.2 OUT! TAKEN! Back-to-back wickets for the hosts and Tony de Zorzi's struggling stay comes to an end. McConchie lands it in thereabouts of the off pole, and the length is full. Tony de Zorzi plants his back knee into the pitch and tries to knock it through the covers, with an expansive drive, but fails to keep it along the ground. Hits it flatly to James Neesham at extra cover who takes a sharp catch to his left. From 81/1, South Africa are now 83/3. 83/3

| Connor Esterhuizen Wk | 57 | 36 | 7 | 3 | 158.33 |
|
9.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Well, it needed some piece of brilliance to halt this knock from Esterhuizen. A sensational catch from Katene Clarke in the deep, which brings this 81-run stand to an end. Esterhuizen gets a back-of-a-length delivery around fourth stump and decides to go for the pull. He stands tall and gets if off the inner half of the blade on it, completely mistiming the shot. Clarke is stationed at deep backward square leg and the ball is dropping in front of him. He sprints forward, launches into a full-length dive and scoops it with both hands. The TV Umpire wants to make sure though. Replays roll in and it is deemed a clean catch with Katene's fingers cleanly underneath the ball. Great commitment from the debutant and Esterhuizen has to go. 81/2

|
15 OUT! LBW! Foulkes strikes now and breaks the budding partnership at a very crucial moment. Nails the yorker in the line of the stumps, Dian Forrester goes for a flick but fails to get bat on the ball and gets hit on his back shoe. A gentle appeal from the bowler and the umpire raises his finger. Dian Forrester sends this upstairs for a review. But three reds on the Ball Tracker with the ball thumping into the middle stump confirms the on field decision of OUT. South Africa are 121/4. 121/4

| Jason Smith | 19 | 14 | 2 | 1 | 135.71 |
|
18 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Wicket number 2 for Kyle Jamieson. A cross-seam delivery that skids through from a good length, on the stumps. Jason Smith stays put in the crease and attempts to launch it downtown, but doesn't get the whole of it. Slices it toward long off where Tim Robinson judges the trajectory nicely, and times his leap to perfection to grab it just ahead of the boundary ropes. South Africa are 146/5. 146/5

5.2 OUT! TAKEN! Coetzee gets the wicket of the set-batter. Bowls in a similar channel, fuller and around off, nipping away a touch. Tim Robinson again tries to whip it against the line but gets a top edge, high in the air and to point where Rubin Hermann takes the skier. New Zealand are 52/2 inside the Powerplay, needing 113 more. 52/2

| Katene Clarke | 9 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 180 |
|
2.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The opening partnership is put to a halt as the debutant departs. Short and on middle and off, Katene Clarke gets into a good position to pull this over the fence, but fails to get enough power behind it. Clarke hits this straight into the grasp of Rubin Hermann at the deep square leg fence. A couple of yards either side of the fielder could have fetched him a boundary or maybe a six, but he picks up the fielder to perfection. New Zealand are 28/1, chasing 165. 28/1

| Dane Cleaver Wk | 26 | 16 | 2 | 2 | 162.50 |
|
8.2 OUT! BOWLED! Exceptional bowling from Subrayen and he gets the reward with his maiden T20I wicket. Full and straight at over 100 kph. Cleaver gets forward looking to swing it through the leg side, clears his front leg to create the angle, but the ball is fired full into leg and middle and crashes into the stumps before bat can come down. Cleaver misses and the stumps are rattled. South Africa absolutely needed that and they have got it. New Zealand are 76/3, needing 89 more runs to win from 70 balls. 76/3

| Nick Kelly | 19 | 20 | 2 | 0 | 95 |

13.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Nelson strikes for the Proteas and things are getting really interesting in Wellington now. Under-cutter, around middle and off, going across the batter. Nick Kelly goes down on a knee and looks for the slog sweep but doesn't get right underneath it. Ends up hitting this straight into the hands of Rubin Hermann at deep mid-wicket fence for a regulation catch. New Zealand are 111/6. 111/6

| Bevon Jacobs | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |
|
10.1 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Almost a carbon copy of the previous wicket and Subrayen has two to his name on debut. Darts it very full by keeping the line of attack on the stumps. Bevon Jacobs clears the front leg and tries to drive it straightish but misses to get bat on the ball. It whistles past the outside edge and makes an absolute mess of the furniture behind. From 76/2, New Zealand are now reduced to 88/4. They need 77 from 59 balls. 88/4

| James Neesham C | 6 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 75 |
|
11.5 OUT! TAKEN THIS TIME! Coetzee redeems himself and Baartman finally gets his man. Short of a good length, angling across Neesham from middle stump. He goes for the big heave across the line and gets a leading edge for the third time in the same over. The ball soars high up into the night sky and Coetzee at deep third has all the time in the world to settle underneath it and take a good catch. Third time unlucky for Neesham. The lives have finally run out. New Zealand lose their most experienced batter in Neesham and are 95/5, still requiring 70 runs from 49 balls. 95/5

| Cole McConchie | 10 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 200 |
|
13.5 OUT! TIMBER! This game has turned upside down since the break. Keshav goes wide of the crease and bowls a quicker one, into the batter. Cole McConchie goes for a cut but doesn't move his feet anywhere. Ends up getting beaten with the ball crashing into his stumps. From 76/2, New Zealand have slipped spectacularly to 112/7. 112/7

16.3 OUT! TAKEN! Gerald Coetzee strikes. A proper bouncer, outside off, gets a bit of extra bounce off the surface. Josh Clarkson tries to pull it away but outside edges it to the keeper. Connor Esterhuizen runs to his right and holds onto it. Gerald Coetzee slams his head with both hands in celebration. New Zealand are 134/9 down now. 134/9

14.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ottneil Baartman goes short and bangs it into the batter. Zakary Foulkes doesn't get the room he was after to free his arms and ends up top-edging this over the keeper. Connor Esterhuizen settles himself underneath it and holds onto a regulation catch. 120/8

18.5 OUT! TAKEN! It's all over. Gerald Coetzee bangs into the surface, on middle. Jamieson pulls, but even with his height, fails to connect it cleanly. He gets a top edge to square leg, where Ottneil Baartman runs in and slides to hold onto it. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 19 RUNS. 145/10
