00:01Dominant display against their counterparts there.
00:04Now, their opponents, now it's New Zealand men who have won the toss,
00:08who have batted him first, and Frankie Mackay, who was with me first up in commentary,
00:12I look at this New Zealand side, and there's not many faces from the T20 World Cup,
00:16but I look at that and I go, well, it's just another New Zealand side,
00:20because so many have so much international experience there.
00:23Yeah, plenty of experience in that line-up, Devin Conway and Tom Latham at the top of the order.
00:27Tim Robinson, and they thought there was a chance for him to be in that T20 World Cup squad,
00:31and Nick Kelly on debut alongside Bevan Jacobs.
00:34That makes for a powerful top order itself.
00:36A couple of spin options, you get the pace bowlers charging in, so exciting for New Zealand.
00:41Well, they'll have to go out and bowl first, but they've got four debutants.
00:43If this is the start of a new rotation for South Africa looking for the next crop,
00:48there's four of them to keep an eye on there when it comes to debuts.
00:52Yeah, Jordan Herman, he's an exciting player at the top of the order alongside Connor Esterhazen.
00:57Both on debut alongside Forrester and McQuainer.
01:01So, an exciting one, an exciting opportunity for both teams.
01:04And now it is...
01:06A little bit of a swing and a thick outside edge to start things off.
01:10Bowling round the wicket, as so many bowlers do to these left-handers nowadays.
01:16Well over the wicket to Aetham, and he'll be rather gifted as first...
01:24And again, up on the side, Ted.
01:27It's one of those trade-offs, isn't it?
01:30Cloth, clopped and out, never hit it, tucked up.
01:33Brilliant start from Kurt Sear.
01:35Play and A has come together for them straight up.
01:42Early wicket to fall, that's a big one.
01:48Oh, Robinson, he's very quick into anything short.
01:53And that was only just short of a length.
02:01Try and have that more defensive field.
02:03Oh, I'll take those.
02:05You love those.
02:07Slip had just gone.
02:08Slip was removed.
02:11But I don't think Aetham played it through there purposely.
02:18Now pulling.
02:20Oh, well watched.
02:23It's really...
02:32Well, close.
02:33Stand is really closer now.
02:35Yeah, that was full.
02:36It was straight.
02:37It was angling back.
02:39And I don't think there'll be a review here.
02:41I think Aetham will turn and walk.
02:43He knows he's been hit in front.
02:45Taking some time, but Nick Kelly finally hit.
02:54A cracking decision.
03:02Well, you don't see too many of those.
03:04T20 cricket.
03:07Both Thunderbolts looking to take...
03:09On the charge.
03:12The outside edge.
03:17Something...
03:24And he does.
03:25He goes straight and he'll give a one.
03:27That's sensible bowling.
03:33Inside the circle.
03:35That shot and realised it was an age to...
03:40Looking for some room.
03:42No, it's going to be wider and they'll pick up a run as well.
03:47A bye.
03:49In the region of Maron.
03:54No timing at all.
03:56A good catch.
03:57New Zealand in trouble now.
04:00Robinson the next to go.
04:02No timing whatsoever.
04:05I've been taking wickets in the USA 20.
04:07Now taking wickets in...
04:09Bolden straight through.
04:11Knack and crock.
04:12Kelly's played all around that.
04:14And he goes.
04:19An absolute jaffer.
04:21Looked at the pitch and thought it looks good for batting.
04:27Gets it through.
04:28Timing was good.
04:29It's...
04:31No swing.
04:32And time down the ground.
04:33Man.
04:34Right out of the screws.
04:39Here's...
04:41Abrica.
04:42Bartman.
04:44Gets taken downtown for six.
04:48That is Bevan John Jacobs at his finest.
04:50In the slot.
04:51Does not miss out.
05:00Taking on the arm.
05:01It's a goal.
05:02I don't think he's got it.
05:04I think he's short.
05:05Bevan John Jacobs.
05:06I think he knows it as well.
05:08Will send it upstairs.
05:09But he's on the walk.
05:11Jiminesham.
05:12It's almost like an orient here.
05:15But they've...
05:16Because of that fuller length.
05:18Santner.
05:19Whips that off the hip.
05:20That's going to go for four.
05:22Strong finish to the over for New Zealand.
05:24That run out was from Irman.
05:26So quick along the outfield.
05:30Beautiful.
05:32Really classy shot this.
05:38He knows the bullshit.
05:41He can rebuild.
05:43Oh!
05:43Good turn.
05:45Raj is on the bottom here.
05:49Oh, that's flowing away.
05:51Off the outside edge.
05:52Down.
05:53Wide thirds.
05:56Yeah, it's been a conversation here of course.
06:01Must have played out three points.
06:04Cody Martin and it's 10 and over from here.
06:06It's by Cole McConkis.
06:06There is depth in the batting line.
06:08The numbers.
06:08Yeah!
06:09Got him!
06:12Maharaj.
06:12Did them all ends up.
06:14Santner came charging down the pitch.
06:17And that's three microsecond at that moment.
06:19He said, I've just loved my time.
06:21And one...
06:22White!
06:25Evening Frankie Mackay.
06:36As of catch it.
06:38Good fielding.
06:40Jordan Harriman on the boundary.
06:46It's hanging in the air.
06:49In the fold safe.
06:50Gerald Katsia will do the tidying up.
06:59Go for four.
07:02Not pretty.
07:04South Africa on top.
07:09Field on the boundary.
07:10Oh, watch it go for six.
07:16Maharaj under pressure.
07:17First ball of the over.
07:20Good, guys.
07:21Good, guys.
07:25Got that fine.
07:28McQuinn is after it.
07:29Does well.
07:34Got the nick.
07:36And Connor Esthazen doesn't make any mistake.
07:38McQuinn picks up his first wicket in New Zealand.
07:45That folks, meanwhile, comes out to them in India is the ability to build.
07:52What an over from McQuinn.
07:54A wicket.
07:55A wicket off his last delivery off the server.
07:59Two wickets in the...
08:00A tall Kyle James.
08:02Yeah!
08:04Another wicket.
08:06Stumps rattled here at Bay Oval.
08:08And it's the captain, Keshav Maharaj, who picks up wicket number nine.
08:19Okay, McConkie.
08:22Oh.
08:23Struck hard.
08:25And that will be a welcome boundary for the Black Caps.
08:29Well, that's what you feel McConkie needs to do now.
08:31He is left with just Ben Sears for company.
08:36McQuinn to continue.
08:37Andres.
08:41Clever.
08:41So clever.
08:45But also wanting to put himself in the hot seat.
08:50And he took off.
08:51And he called a wide.
08:54Yeah, been very impressed, not just by his exploits.
09:01Easy catch for Ruben Hermann.
09:05New Zealand.
09:06They've crumbled here at Bay Oval.
09:09All out for 91.
09:13McQuinn.
09:15He has been exceptional.
09:18He wants to start for the Proteus.
09:20And he's been one tonight.
09:25Seidman for Conor, Esther Hazen.
09:27And seven.
09:28Toten said, you want to break the back off that.
09:33Yeah, a couple of wickets with some good deliveries.
09:44Oh, that's going to run away.
09:48Leg buys.
09:51Wanted all of that, didn't they?
09:57That's hanging in the air.
10:00Excellent catch.
10:04Ben Jacobs holds on to Eskaya.
10:08He's disappointed as Tony DeZorzi.
10:11He executed a wonderful run.
10:17With on offer and put away for four.
10:24Slow holding, wicked or not.
10:26Niena Bowl won that, just slides on.
10:28It's one of the few venues with a block.
10:32He's launched that.
10:35He's got all of it.
10:39Took a couple of deliveries, did Ruben Haramon.
10:44Backs away.
10:45But this goes high into the night sky.
10:50Excellent take from Tom Latham.
10:55Ruben Haramon's got to go.
10:58New Zealand have a second in the power.
11:00The World Cup for the Proteus.
11:04Oh, and that has just gone away.
11:06Not even Latham could get across to that.
11:09Disappointing buys called.
11:12Sears just losing his way here from the grip.
11:15Sears, and that has been picked up
11:17and spanked over the pavilion for six.
11:21That is a roof ball.
11:27Once again, it just starts straight.
11:30It carries on down that line.
11:34Gets the edge and just wide of the slip.
11:37And that is racing away on this outfield.
11:39Jamison does his best.
11:41But he won't be able to reel it in.
11:44The paucity of the total.
11:46There's going to be another bowling change here.
11:49Oh, that is beautifully played.
11:52Nice.
11:52On the reverse.
11:53So elegantly done.
11:55Swept away for four.
11:5850 up for South Africa.
12:02Oh, beats him.
12:04Wow-wee.
12:05That is a seed from Santner.
12:13Have asked the question.
12:15Have reviewed the question.
12:17I have a review for stumping.
12:18It's a fair delivery.
12:19Can you show me side on, please?
12:32Okay.
12:33I don't see anything grounded there.
12:34Do you have anything from the other side?
12:35Just confirm both sides.
12:56Yep.
12:57Satisfied there is nothing grounded behind the line.
12:59I have a decision for the big screen.
13:04Confirmation from Kim Cotton.
13:06And New Zealand have a third.
13:08Smith is gone.
13:10Got forward.
13:11Got two.
13:12And this is domestic T20 career to date.
13:15Very handy average.
13:16Strike rate over 140.
13:1880 not out is best.
13:22Serious cricket at this.
13:24And a serious bowler, Mitch Santner.
13:26Did Smith all in.
13:27He's got that arm ball that goes away from the left-hander.
13:32And Forrester was waiting on that.
13:36Nice bit of fielding in the deep from Devin Conway.
13:39Keeps it to a cap.
13:41All his favour.
13:44Oh!
13:45That is almost snuck through.
13:48An examination of technique here.
13:51And Chris Brown point.
13:52And Stubbs had a big smile on his face.
13:56I think he might have had the little twitch of the finger there, Chris Brown.
14:04With the gloves.
14:07Oh, my God!
14:08Oh, no, no!
14:11A lot slower over the last six months or so.
14:16He doesn't do too much different.
14:18It's all the pace that comes in his wrist work rather than his run-up.
14:26Mitch Santner's probably thinking,
14:28What do I have to do to get another wicket?
14:31Because he's bowled so well.
14:37Let's see if we see Esterhazen after this.
14:41Nisham's like,
14:42Oh, my goodness.
14:43And he goes,
14:43I don't know what to do.
14:44I don't know what to do.
14:45My goodness.
