NZ vs SA highlights, 4th T20I: South Africa beat New Zealand by 19 runs

Prenelan Subrayen to Dane Cleaver, A bit too short and wide of off. Cleaver picks the width and carves it aerially over point for a single.

Prenelan Subrayen to Nick Kelly, Starts with an in-drifter, fuller delivery on leg. Nick Kelly keeps it out on the leg side.

That's the end of the Powerplay. New Zealand's 63/2 meets South Africa's 50/1 at the same stage. No doubt, the hosts are ahead in the game right now, but a couple of quick wickets could get the Proteas back in the game. A very crucial middle over phase coming up. And with that, the debutant, Prenelan Subrayen is into the attack to bowl right-arm spin.

Gerald Coetzee to Dane Cleaver, Beauty to start and end the over. Too straight and a bit short, outside off. Cleaver defends inside the line and gets beaten. New Zealand will be happy with the Powerplay as 11 runs come from this one.

Gerald Coetzee to Dane Cleaver, SIX! That's even better! The crowd loved that from Dane. On a nagging length delivery, wide outside off. Cleaver shuffles way across the line and paddles it behind square on the leg side for a biggie.

Gerald Coetzee to Nick Kelly, This is full and on middle and leg. Nick Kelly nudges it to mid-wicket for a quick single. Oh, dear. George Linde picks up and has a shy at the bowler's end, but instead picks the running Kelly. Luckily, the batter gets hit on the outside part of the thigh pad.

A big wicket for the Proteas, this. Kind of exposes the inexperienced middle order of New Zealand to do the rest of the job. Nick Kelly is in at number 4.

Gerald Coetzee to Tim Robinson, OUT! TAKEN! Coetzee gets the wicket of the set-batter. Bowls in a similar channel, fuller and around off, nipping away a touch. Tim Robinson again tries to whip it against the line but gets a top edge, high in the air and to point where Rubin Hermann takes the skier. New Zealand are 52/2 inside the Powerplay, needing 113 more.

Gerald Coetzee to Tim Robinson, Beauty from Coetzee. Into the surface, tad fuller and on middle, shaping away late. Tim Robinson looks to whip it across the line but it holds its line and rolls past Tim's blade and over the stumps.

Wiaan Mulder to Katene Clarke, OUT! CAUGHT! The opening partnership is put to a halt as the debutant departs. Short and on middle and off, Katene Clarke gets into a good position to pull this over the fence, but fails to get enough power behind it. Clarke hits this straight into the grasp of Rubin Hermann at the deep square leg fence. A couple of yards either side of the fielder could have fetched him a boundary or maybe a six, but he picks up the fielder to perfection. New Zealand are 28/1, chasing 165.

Pace from the other end in the form of Gerald Coetzee.

Welcome back, everyone. The Proteas players are out in the middle. The debutant, Katene Clarke, walks out with Tim Robinson to open for New Zealand. Spin to start, here is George Linde. Let's play...

...THE CHASE...

Can Proteas level the series? Although the Proteas scored 82 runs on either side of the halfway mark to post a competitive total, they ultimately fell short of the much larger score they were expected to reach. South Africa need to be confident as the Kiwis are short of experience in the batting side, but with favourable home conditions. Expect them to give a good fight. Stay tuned.
