Williamson keeps New Zealand in the hunt

June 19, 2019 23:33

NZ 184-5 (40 ovs) vs SA 241-6 (49) | Scorecard

Tahir, who has one over in hand, will finish off his spell. He nearly strikes first ball as Williamson chips it on the leg side where Miller makes a diving effort at midwicket but is unable to get to the ball.

Two singles off the next two balls before de Grandhomme flicks it in the air and Miller makes a superb diving effort but fails to hold on.

Williamson then nearly gets an edge as he pokes to a wide delivery and is beaten.

Top over from the veteran leggie as he finishes with good figures of 33 runs from his 10 overs.

Interestingly, the Ultra Edge shows that Williamson had got a fine edge off the last ball. Wonder why South Africa didn't take the review?

Rabada is back into the attack. He starts with two dot balls to de Grandhomme before the right-hander pulls a short ball high over the square leg fence for a huge six as he races to 29 from 19 balls.

Two balls later, he steers a wide delivery past point for two runs to keep the runs coming at a good rate.

Ngidi is back into the attack from the other end. He bowls five dot balls in a row to Williamson, doing well with the change of pace, not letting the Kiwi captain anything to work with.

He drives the last ball down to long-on for a single as Ngidi concedes just a single in his eighth over.

New Zealand are 184 for five in 40 overs, needing 58 runs from the remaining nine overs for victory.
