JP Duminy is named the Man of the Match for his fantastic 86 off 43 balls. Dale Steyn was the closest second though for his match-winning spell. That's all from this tight game. The Sri Lanka vs Netherlands game is up next, so do join us in a short while.
But then, it all came down to that man and his spell. Dale Steyn conceded just 6 runs in the 18th over when the pressure was on him and in the 20th over, when he had to defend just 7 runs, he did something that's almost unheard in T20Is. Three wickets, two dot balls, one boundary. Hats off to the world's best fast bowler currently.
Fantastic match comes to an end! It had it all, to be true. Two fantastic innings from both the sides. While JP Duminy's blistering 86 under pressure set the platform for South Africa to make a good total, Ross Taylor's quick-fire innings was very crucial to keep the Kiwis' chance alive.

Dale Steyn To Ross Taylor OUT!
OUT! It's a run out! SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 2 runs! Whaddaplayaa, Dale Steyn! Steyn hurls it full and well wide, Taylor shuffles to try and go over mid-wicket but is forced to hit it down. Southee is off the mark, Steyn runs back, takes the bails off and runs away in celebration and Taylor has no way of getting to the non-striker's end. Enthralling finish to the match.
Tim Southee is the last man in. 3 needed off 1 ball. Good news for New Zealand is that Ross Taylor will be on strike. Where does du Plessis plant his fielders? There is a deep cover, deep mid-wicket, long on, third man, long off in place. South Africa won't mind the singles...

Dale Steyn To Nathan McCullum OUT!
OUT! Steyn strikes! du Plessis takes the catch! Short of a length and well wide, Nathan tries to smoke it over mid off but has mistimed it straight up. Faf, with a hamstring niggle has to put in the dive though and he does by going towards his left and takes a pressure catch! What a match!

Dale Steyn To Luke Ronchi OUT!
OUT! Edged and gone! Lovely catch! Full and wide outside off, Ronchi attempts to slash over point but gets a thick outside edge. It flies away towards de Kock's right and he flings himself to take it.
Dale Steyn will bowl the final over. New Zealand need 7 off 6 balls! He's very familiar to such crunch situations....

Wide! That's a bit harsh. Taylor moves a good yard and a half outside off, Morkel bowls it way wide outside off and Rosco misses. Umpire S Ravi gives the signal and Morkel is not happy about it.

Dale Steyn To Corey Anderson OUT!
OUT! The million dollar Anderson has been dismissed by the Steyn-gun! Steyn totally outfoxes and outthinks him with a slow ball at 119 kph, Anderson gets sucked into the big shot and sends it straight down the throat of Miller at long off.

Dale Steyn To Corey Anderson
FOUR! de Kock DROPS a tough one! It was a short ball to Anderson, he was shaping up to pull and de Kock starts to move naturally towards his right, the ball goes off the top edge and goes to de Kock's left but he only manages a glove. So close to a wicket!
