Kane Williamson hits a four down to third man to win the game for New Zealand, what a game and what an innings from the captain. After a slow first innings with the bat South Africa came out all guns blazing in the 2nd innings with Rabada dismissing Munro early on. After three quick wickets between the 16th and 18th over South Africa were right back in the competition.
However de Grandhomme came to the crease later on in the innings and smashed 60 off 47 balls, but found himself caught in the deep in the 47th over. Then up steps Kane Williamson with 12 needed off just 7 balls Williamson steered a four past the keeper then belted a six into the stands before cutting again past point for another boundary to win the game for New Zealand. Another great game between two fantastic sides but yet again it is New Zealand who come out on top
