While there was some good batting and fielding on show in this game, some of the bowling was top-shelf. New Zealand posted a lower score than it looked like they were going to, but defended it particularly well. South Africa were 9 runs ahead with an over to go, so the game still wasn't decided. But the South Africans finished well, and despite losing a wicket off the last ball went on to win.

This was a close game, and both sides showed they are capable of playing great cricket. We still wouldn't like to pick a winner in this division . . . or any come to think of it. Maybe in a day or two . . .

Batting pairs (and the runs they scored off their own bats) were:

New Zealand:
Sheary (-1) and Dixon (18); Stevens (15) and Hegglun (13); Gleeson (18) and Hyslop (11); and Weight (3) and Istead (3).

South Africa:
Roux (7) and Q. Lubbe (24); Bloem (23) and Mollendorf (11); Calaca (-8) and M. Lubbe (13); and Hulme (10) and Kleinhans (15).
