And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with South Africa claiming an impressive victory by 47 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by South Africa and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for South Africa! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured New Zealands.

I always expect to win the toss that's why I go for a normal pitch. Challo I will try something else next game. Good win for you. Be ready we're coming for you :akhtar.
