Black Caps Level T20 Series After Bowlers Blow South Africa Away

At Hamilton's Seddon Park on Tuesday, the Black Caps were bundled out for 91, and South Africa completed the chase with opener Connor Esterhuizen unbeaten on 45 from 48.
Early in the innings, New Zealand's top order collapsed under disciplined bowling and a turning pitch as they slumped to 36-5 with a first-ball dismissal, hampering recovery on the spinner's track.
Debutant Nqobani Mokoena made a breakthrough impact with 3-26, while Gerald Coetzee removed Devon Conway first ball and Ottneil Baartman added wickets as New Zealand slid to 21-4.
South Africa paced the run chase at just over 5.6 an over and sealed victory with 20 balls to spare, with Mitch Santner's 1-8 helping control the match.
This tour follows New Zealand's recent World Cup run, including a semifinal win over South Africa and a final loss in India, with the Proteas having won the first series match by seven wickets at Mount Maunganui.
