4th T20I: Esterhuizen Shines As SA Beat NZ By 19 Runs To Level The Series 2-2
Cricket South Africa: Wicketkeeper batter Connor Esterhuizen's half-century, followed by a combined bowling effort from Gerald Coetzee, Ottneil Baartman, Prenelan Subrayen, and Keshav Maharaj, helped South Africa register 19- run win against New Zealand in the fourth T20I of the five-match series played at the Sky Stadium on Sunday.
Batting first, South Africa posted 164/5 on the scoreboard from 20 overs, with Esterhuizen leading the charge with the bat. In reply, New Zealand got bowled out for just 145 in 18.5 overs. With this win, South Africa have levelled the series 2-2, and the decider will be played on March 25 at Hagley Oval.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, South Africa had a poor start as Mulder got out on just the second ball. However, Esterhuizen and Tony De Zorzi built a strong partnership of 81 runs, putting the team in a good position. Esterhuizen reached his fifty in 33 balls during the 10th over.
