That's the end of the game and New Zealand wrap up a massive victory winning by 107 runs. South Africa was never in the game but that is more down to New Zealand's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. 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. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said New Zealand proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
