BLACKCAPS v South Africa
Saturday 25 February 2017
Review
Chasing 272, New Zealand were shot out for 112 in 32.2 overs, with a batting performance that few saw coming.Three days previous they'd lost just four wickets in racking up a winning total of 289-4 in Christchurch.
It was a letdown for an expectant Westpac Stadium crowd basking in a warm Wellington afternoon as the BLACKCAPS collapsed to a 159-run defeat to South Africa, who are now at odds to clinch this five-match series.
