Williamson keeps New Zealand in the hunt

June 19, 2019 23:21

NZ 169-5 (37 ovs) vs SA 241-6 (49) | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Tahir is back into the attack. He bowls a tidy over giving away three singles in his eighth over.

Williamson clips Morris on the leg side for one before de Grandhomme slaps it square with some good timing but only for a single.

Williamson is then hit on the arm as he looks to pull Morris but is way too early into the shot. However, he gets the shot right two balls later, pulling it confidently through midwicket for a four.

De Grandhomme living on the edge. This time he looks to whip Tahir over square leg leg but fails to get it off the middle as he gets two runs behind square.

He then smashes the next ball straight as it falls just short of Tahir and goes to long-on for one and Williamson eases the next ball to the same fielder for another single.

Tahir overpitches as de Grandhomme drives it again to long-on for one before he survives a run out chance last ball. Williamson tapped it to midwicket and called his partner for a quick single, who was struggling but David Miller missed the direct hit.

Andile Phehlukwayo is back into the attack. Williamson takes a single off the first ball before de Grandhomme deposits a short ball over the square leg fence for a six and then takes one off the next.

A single to Williamson off the fifth ball as the pacer gives away nine runs from the over. New Zealand need 73 from 12 overs for victory.
