Over 20. 14 runs. Bowler: Kwena Maphaka. New Zealand: 180/5(rr 9.00)

Kwena Maphaka to Daryl Mitchell. Off cutter half volley, off stump deep in crease Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 2 runs, fielded by Hendricks. That will be the end of the first innings. After being put into bat, the Kiwis have managed to post a challenging total on the board. New Zealand openers gave a good start to the innings, followed by Rachin Ravindra playing a crucial knock. For the Proteas, the experienced Lungi Ngidi is the pick of the bowlers, picking up two wickets. Let's see whether it will be an easy chase for South African batters or if the Kiwi bowlers can defend this total.

Matt Henry to Senuran Muthusamy. Off cutter short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, missed for no runs, fielded by Seifert. With that, the game comes to a close. New Zealand has successfully defended the posted total and claims the T20I Tri-Series trophy. After a great start from the Proteas openers Luhan-dre Pretorius and Reeza Hendricks, wickets in the middle overs brought New Zealand back into the game. A late cameo from Dewald Brewis helped the Proteas to finish close to the target, but it went in vain. Matt Henry is the stand-out performer for the Kiwis picking up two wickets in the crucial final over, and is rewarded by being named both Player of the Match and Series.
