JOHANNESBURG, Nov 24 (BBC): South Africa survived a late fightback from error-ridden New Zealand to win their Twenty20 game by three wickets.
Scott Styris hit 30 and Kyle Mills 33 not out but Shaun Pollock (3-28) and Albie Morkel (2-29) profited from poor shots as the Kiwis managed only 129-7.
Jacques Kallis and Graeme Smith fell cheaply but JP Duminy, who blasted 33, and AB de Villiers (52no) were dropped as the Proteas appeared to be cruising.
South Africa 131-7 (19.5 overs) bt New Zealand 129-7 (20 overs) by three wickets
