Ngidi to Mitchell, OUT

catching practice for long on, and NZ are falling away here! Slot ball on the stumps and this is there to be hit. Mitchell thinks so too but he cannot get under it enough. The bat turns a touch upon impact and Mitchell arrows it straight down Stubbs' throat. Mitchell dejected as he walks off; Ngidi, delighted that he has tightened SA's grip on this game!

Daryl Mitchell c Stubbs b Ngidi 32 (24b 2x4 1x6) SR: 133.33

I think NZ should score at least another 20 runs for a par score. SA has good batting depth..

Corbin Bosch to Santner, OUT

sliced a mile up, and South Africa are catching everything! Full ball on middle and off. Santner backs away, designing to go inside-out. Slices across it way too much, though, and only gets the height he desires. Rickelton circles under it in the deep backward point region and makes no mistake!

Mitchell Santner c Rickelton b Bosch 4 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40

Yet another wicket!!!

Amey: "What a pull back by SA after 13th over. Just 14 in 21 balls." -- And some very important wickets. Henry in at 9

MW: "SA bowling coach earning his paycheck today - only one extra and that was a LB. Disciplined bowling."

STAT: 4/40 – second most expensive four-fer in T20 World Cups, only behind Anrich Nortje’s 4/41 vs Pakistan at the SCG in 2022.

Shaun: "Much better numbers from KG today. Hopefully he's turning a corner with his T20 form."

NZ complete their innings with a double boundary!!

Corbin Bosch to Neesham, FOUR runs

Neesham finishes with successive boundaries, and NZ end up with 175! Bosch misses the yorker again - this time, landing it short outside off. Neesham gets under it and bangs it over mid off to end the innings on a bit of a high!
