NZ vs SA Live Cricket Score

8.4 OUT! ABSOLUTE STUNNER! South Africa is known for their fielding and the skipper has produced something special here to get the breakthrough for his side. Senuran Muthusamy flights it up, full and outside off, Tim Seifert uses his feet to loft it over covers, but has to reach out for it a bit and loses his bottom hand. Ends up hitting it much flatter, and Rassie van der Dussen at short covers leaps up to his left and takes a brilliant catch with both hands. Seifert goes for 30 off 28, and New Zealand are 75/1! 75/1

11.2 OUT! TOP EDGE AND GONE! Lungi Ngidi removes the well-set Conway! Back-of-a-length delivery, around the left shoulder. Devon Conway looks to hook it over fine leg but gets the top edge off some extra bounce and miscues toward short fine leg, where Nandre Burger takes a simple catch. New Zealand lose their second. 101/2

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Nandre Burger gets the big fish! Another low full toss on the middle stump line. Rachin Ravindra hacks it high toward the deep mid-wicket region. Fails to get the elevation or the distance and is caught near the ropes by Dewald Brevis. The umpires want to check for a No Ball here. The front foot looks alright, but the back foot is very close to the return crease. After a few replays, the third umpire deems it is a fair delivery. A fine knock from Ravindra ends now as he walks back for 47. New Zealand are four down. 152/4

13.5 CHAPMAN HOLES OUT! SHARP CATCH IN THE DEEP! Another slower ball on the full, on the middle and leg. Mark Chapman advances down the pitch and miscues it high toward the deep mid-wicket region. Rubin Hermann there keeps his eye on the ball and takes it nicely above his head, close to the ropes. The poor run of form continues for Chapman. New Zealand lose their third. 127/3

19.3 OUT! EXCELLENT CATCH! Kwena Maphaka gets Bracewell. Full and well outside off. Michael Bracewell tries to get underneath and loft over the infield but it comes off the cue end and to the right of extra cover where George Linde takes a sharp catch. New Zealand are five down. 174/5

9.4 OUT! STUMPED! Michael Bracewell gets the much-needed wicket. Tosses it on a length and throws it well outside off. Lhuan-dre Pretorius charges down and looks to go over the off-side but misses, and Tim Seifert does the rest behind the stumps. A fine knock from Lhuan-dre Pretorius ends now. 92/1

12.5 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Zakary Foulkes gets a huge wicket here! The short-ball plan has worked for the Kiwis. He bangs this into the pitch and on off. Reeza Hendricks plays the pull shot but for some reason does not go through it fully. Fails to get the power or elevation as the ball flies straight into the hands of Devon Conway at deep square leg. Hendricks departs for a well-made 37 off 31, and South Africa are two down now! 116/2

15 OUT! TAKEN! Adam Milne strikes! He goes full again and on middle, angling in, Rassie van der Dussen opens his stance and looks to go big down the ground, but fails to get the timing right on this one. It flies towards wide long on where Daryl Mitchell makes no mistake. South Africa three down now! 131/3

15.1 OUT! TAKEN! TWO IN TWO FOR THE KIWIS! The No.1 T20I bowler strikes now! Fuller in length and on middle, Rubin Hermann just like his skipper, tries to loft it down the ground. He does not get it anywhere near the middle of the bat and hits it from the bottom half of the bat. No timing or power as the ball goes in the air towards long on where Daryl Mitchell takes another good catch. The Kiwis have got an opening now! 131/4

19.2 OUT! TAKEN SUPERBLY IN THE DEEP! Is there another twist in the tale? Short of a length and on middle from Henry. Dewald Brevis decides to take it on and goes for the pull, connects well towards deep square leg. Michael Bracewell shows great presence of mind. He grabs and flicks the ball in time as he goes over the ropes, comes in, and completes the catch. The third umpire wants to check, and this is a crucial decision in the context of the game. After a lot of replays, he is satisfied that it is a fair catch. Brevis goes for a fiery 31 off 16. South Africa still needs 7 runs to win. 174/5

19.5 OUT! TAKEN! My word, what a catch! Daryl Mitchell, you beauty! He has probably grabbed the final for the Kiwis here. Matt Henry lands this short of a length and on off, George Linde tries to finish the game off and swats it down the ground and wide of long on. It looks like it's going for a boundary, but Mitchell comes out of nowhere running to his left and takes a stunning diving catch. He is pumped up and so are the Kiwis. They have turned this game around and how. 177/6
