Nqobani Mokoena to Cole McConchie, out Caught by Rubin Hermann!! New Zealand have been bowled out for 91. Short ball from Mokoena, McConchie backs away to pull despite the ball getting big on him. Hits him high on the bat and long-on comes in to take the catch. Cole McConchie c Rubin Hermann b Nqobani Mokoena 15(11) [4s-1]
Keshav Maharaj to Kyle Jamieson, out Bowled!! Another one bites the dust. 93.9kph, quick arm ball that slides on around off, Jamieson stays on the back foot and is late to bring his bat down. Ends up playing outside the line of the delivery as well and hears the death rattle. Kyle Jamieson b Keshav Maharaj 2(5)
Nqobani Mokoena to Zakary Foulkes, out Caught by Connor Esterhuizen!! Second wicket in the over for Nqobani Mokoena. Pace and bounce, too good for Zakary Foulkes. Rises from a short of length marginally outside off, Foulkes has a little poke at it and all he manages to get is an outside edge. Easy grab for the keeper. New Zealand lose their eighth wicket with seven overs to go. Zakary Foulkes c Connor Esterhuizen b Nqobani Mokoena 1(3)
Nqobani Mokoena to James Neesham, out Caught by Connor Esterhuizen!! Maiden T20I wicket for Nqobani Mokoena! Slower ball on a fullish length from over the wicket, Neesham gets low to slog it across the line and is early into his shot. All he manages is an outside edge that's been pouched by the keeper. James Neesham c Connor Esterhuizen b Nqobani Mokoena 26(21) [4s-2 6s-1]
Keshav Maharaj to Mitchell Santner, out Bowled!! Keshav Maharaj cleans up his counterpart. Slower, more revs and trifle short. Santner shimmies down the track premeditatively to slog across the line. He's through the shot early, fails to connect and the ball spins through the gate to crash into the stumps. Mitchell Santner b Keshav Maharaj 15(19) [4s-2]
Ottneil Baartman to Bevon Jacobs, out Bevon Jacobs Run Out!! Direct-hit and gone! Length ball, Jacobs pushes it to cover and sets off for a non-existent single. Rubin Hermann moves forward, collects it, pivots a bit and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end. Terrific stuff from South Africa. New Zealand have lost half their side inside the powerplay. Bevon Jacobs run out (Rubin Hermann) 10(7) [6s-1]
Ottneil Baartman to Nick Kelly, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! The South Africans are cock-a-hoop. 138.3kph, good length delivery that seams in a shade. Kelly defends from the crease and doesn't account for the inward movement. The ball sneaks through the bat-pad gap to crash into the stumps. Nick Kelly b Ottneil Baartman 2(5)
Ottneil Baartman to Tim Robinson, out Caught by George Linde!! Three down! Ottneil Baartman strikes in his opening over. 134.3kph, full delivery, Robinson clears his front leg to loft it downtown but gets the timing wrong. Barely gets any elevation on it and Linde dives forward to take a fine catch. Tim Robinson c George Linde b Ottneil Baartman 6(5) [4s-1]
Gerald Coetzee to Latham, out Lbw!! Latham has been adjudged lbw and he decides to walk off. Hint of inward shape for Coetzee with this good length delivery. Latham plays all around it while trying to flick it and misses it altogether to get hit on the front pad adjacent to the stumps. Ball-tracking shows it to be hitting the top of the leg-stump. Latham lbw b Gerald Coetzee 7(6) [4s-1]
Gerald Coetzee to Devon Conway, out Caught by de Zorzi!! Conway falls early and Coetzee is pumped up. In-angling length ball on the stumps, not short enough to be pulling. Hits the splice of the bat and he doesn't get the necessary elevation. De Zorzi, at mid-wicket, times his jump well to take an overhead catch. Devon Conway c de Zorzi b Gerald Coetzee 1(5)
