Unlike this, South Africa tried to find a free flow with their launching or get partnership in. In the first five breaks, only 17 runs scored and the only partnership of the fabric was 30 out of 16 balls between Reeza Hendricks and George Linde. Bowlers also tried to keep things under control because Gerald Coetzee was particularly expensive.
Blackcaps applied the compression soon when Jacob Duffy and Zakara Foulkes gave South African openers nothing they could work with. Captain Rassie van der Dussen was able to get a few strokes before Adam Milne cleaned up.
South Africa was 52 for 2 and needs several fast runs, but followed by a disaster from their point of view. Dewald Brevis and Lhuan-Dre Pretional gave their goals cheaply. Hendricks held shifts along with his 41, but after soft release at 17.
South Africa managed to score only 30 runs in its last four exceeds and lost three goals during the process.
Proteas had to be sharp on the pitch to make things interesting, but disappeared from the beginning with Linde six without the legal delivery to bow, because his first two attempts were wide. Yet Seifert gave them an early chance when he detonated 0, but Andile Simelane dropped a chance.
Seifert lived a charmed life when he gave a few chances of South Africa, but eventually reimbursed his happiness and made them pay by hitting six borders and two six. Despite the slight fluctuations in the middle, Seifert and Daryl Mitchell, they got to the 51-run stand to seal the victory.
