New Zealand vs South Africa 1st T20I Highlights:\u00a0South Africa bundled out New Zealand for just 91 and then chased it down with 3.2 overs to spare to clinch a convincing victory in the first T20I of a five-match series in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. NZ won the toss and opted to bat but lost wickets at regular intervals, going down to 36\/5 at one stage, before being bowled out in 14.3 overs. Gerald Coetzee and Ottneil Baartman did the early damage, taking two wickets each, while Nqobani Mokoena took three late scalps. Wicket-keeper batter Connor Esterhuizen anchored the Proteas chase, making an unbeaten 45 off 48, as they won despite going at less than a run-a-ball.\u00a0(Scorecard<\/a>)<\/p>\n
