Innings Summary
Innings Summary
South Africa's batting order crumbled in Wellington as New Zealand's bowling attack dismantled them to 136/9, with only Nqobani Mokoena (26) and George Linde (23) showing any resistance across 20 overs. The visitors struck 12 fours and 7 sixes but lost 9 wickets, indicating a collapse despite some lusty hitting in the powerplay and death overs.
