3rd T20I: Bowlers Shine As NZ Seal 8-wicket Win Over South Africa
For South Africa: A superb bowling show followed by Tom Latham’s unbeaten half-century powered New Zealand to a comfortable eight-wicket victory over South Africa in the third T20I played at Eden Park on Friday, helping the hosts take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
After winning the toss, New Zealand opted to bowl first and produced a disciplined effort to restrict South Africa to 136/9 in 20 overs. The hosts then chased down the total easily in just 16.2 overs.
South Africa were off to a poor start as they lost three crucial wickets in the powerplay, with Wiaan Mulder getting out on a duck while Tony de Zorzi and Connor Esterhuizen made starts but could not convert them into big scores.
