SA 164/5 (20 ov)
SA won by 19 runs
INNINGS OVER — SA 164/5
164 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. SA will feel they have enough. Esterhuizen's 57 off 36 (SR 158) was the innings that held everything together, with Herman (28 off 25) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Jamieson (2/29 in 4 ov), Sears (1/22 in 4 ov), McConchie (1/26 in 4 ov) all contributed. The middle-overs squeeze did the damage — 3 wickets between overs 7 and 15 sucked the momentum out of the innings. NZ need 165 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
