New Zealand Vs South Africa LIVE Score, 4th T20I: Proteas' Mulder Strikes Early; NZ 32/1 (3 Overs), SA 164/5 (20 Overs)

Hosts have started the run-chase of 165 as Proteas look to take early wickets and Wiaan Mulder has done just that. The all-rounder removed Katene Clarke in the third over, to give the visitors some confidence whilst bowling.

NZ: 32/1 (3 Overs)

SA: 164/5 (20 Overs)

Proteas end up with 164/5 in 20 overs with 4 fours coming off the final over. Kiwis have bowled really well in the death overs and in middle-overs as well. Apart from Connor Esterhuizen (57) none of the other SA batters performed well.

Today has been an absolute top notch bowling from the Kiwis as they have halted the run-flow off SA batters. Despite the inexperience, there are some big-hitters in the Proteas' batting department but Jamieson and co have made sure the visitors have not scored aplenty.

SA: 146/5 (18 Overs)

Dian Forrester is the latest Protea to fall as New Zealand snared fourth wicket in the 4th T20I match in Wellington. South Africa's option to bat first has not gone to plan and unless they have a lower-order fightback, NZ could well and truly wrap this up quickly.

SA: 121/4 (15 Overs)

SA need a mini revival if they are to put on a big score in Wellington. NZ pacers are right on top here and few more scalps, could tilt the momentum in the hosts' favour.

SA: 105/3 (13 Overs)

Connor Esterhuizen has to walk back to the pavillion after scoring his fifty against New Zealand in Wellington. Katene D Clarke with an excellent effort in the outfield as well. Good knock from the Protea batter, who took on the NZ bowlers after the early dismissal of Mulder.

SA: 82/2 (10 Overs)

Connor Esterhuizen is approaching his fifty as SA look to put the NZ bowlers under pressure in Wellington. The visitors might have a target in mind, especially given the good batting conditions on offer.

SA: 58/1 (7 Overs)

The dismissal of Wiaan Mulder has not affect Proteas one bit as opener Esterhuizen has taken on the Kiwi attack, taking them to the cleaners in Wellington.

SA: 49/1 (5 Overs)

Kyle Jamieson strikes in the first over, as he removes the dangerous Wiaan Mulder for 0 on the second ball of the South African innings. Early conditions and the ball is nipping a bit and it finds the edge of Mulder's bat as he hands the ball straight into Tim Robinson's gloves.

SA: 0/1 (1 Overs)

Neesham: Obviously an honour (leading the team), something you reflect on later and probably after your career. Happy to do whatever the team requires.

Maharaj: Looks a good wicket. Taking viewings from the women's game, looked a good wicket. Looks low and slow and hence the decision to bat.

South Africa have won the toss and have opted to bat.
