New Zealand vs South Africa, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kwena Maphaka to Michael Bracewell, out Caught by Linde!! Another good catch from the Proteas! A full ball well outside off, Michael Bracewell leans ahead and creams the drive but doesn't bother to keep it down. Linde at covers dives athletically to his left and takes a sharp catch. Michael Bracewell c Linde b Kwena Maphaka 15(12) [4s-1]

Corbin Bosch to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, a full-toss well outside off, Michael Bracewell had shuffled across his stumps and helps it through backward square leg to find the fence

Nandre Burger to Ravindra, out Caught by Brevis!! Ravindra holes out! A low full-toss on leg-stump, Ravindra goes for an expansive shot but mishits it towards deep mid-wicket. Brevis reverse cups it with ease. The third umpire is checking whether Nandre Burger's back foot is cutting the side crease. He is fine there. A breezy cameo from Ravindra comes to an end. Ravindra c Brevis b Nandre Burger 47(27) [4s-4 6s-2]

Nandre Burger to Ravindra, FOUR, hit with authority! A shortish delivery on off, Ravindra stands tall and pulls it nicely through square leg. He bisects the two fielders in the deep to get the desired result

Corbin Bosch to Mitchell, FOUR, cheeky but effective! Mitchell initially shapes for the scoop but it's fullish. He manages to change his shot and lifts it over short third for a boundary

Ngidi to Chapman, out Caught by Rubin Hermann!! Another brilliant catch, this time from Hermann! Chapman uses his feet but it's the slower one and he fails to spot it. He is already through with the bat-swing and miscues his expansive shot towards deep mid-wicket. Hermann seems to have initially misjudged it. But then he runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and leaps acrobatically to take it with both hands before falling down. Chapman c Rubin Hermann b Ngidi 3(6)

Ngidi to Ravindra, FOUR, slower shortish delivery down leg, Ravindra helps the pull past short fine to pick up an easy boundary

Muthusamy to Ravindra, SIX, crisp! Ravindra uses his feet, converts it into a half-volley and smashes it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. That came right off the screws

Ngidi to Conway, out Caught by Nandre Burger!! Conway falls against the run of play! A pace on shortish delivery on leg-stump, Conway is a bit late on the attempted swipe and only ends up getting a top-edge. An easy catch for Nandre Burger at short fine. A good knock from Conway nonetheless. Conway c Nandre Burger b Ngidi 47(31) [4s-6 6s-1]

Nandre Burger to Conway, FOUR, this is innovative stuff! A length delivery angling in on off, Conway is brave enough to go for the scoop again and he executes it perfectly this time to get it to the fine leg fence. 100 up for New Zealand

Nandre Burger to Conway, FOUR, Conway makes room and caresses the length delivery with an open bat-face past the left side of backward point. Good placement there

Corbin Bosch to Ravindra, FOUR, easy pickings! Shortish ball down leg, Ravindra lines it up and pulls it towards fine leg. The fielder in the deep moves to his left but can't prevent the boundary

Muthusamy to Seifert, out Caught by van der Dussen!! That's an outstanding catch from Rassie! Needed something like that to lift the spirit up of his side and the South African skipper has set the example. Seifert skips down the track and Muthusamy bowls it wide and on a length. Seifert has to reach out and hits it nice and flat but Rassie at extra cover leaps to his left and plucks it with both hands out of thin air before tumbling down. That was traveling but he made it look simple. Seifert c van der Dussen b Muthusamy 30(28) [4s-3 6s-1]

Linde to Seifert, FOUR, on the shorter side around off, Seifert rocks back and cuts it with the spin over cover-point to get desired result. He played that one nicely
