New Zealand Vs South Africa LIVE Score, 3rd T20I: De Zorzi Finds First Boundary As Jamieson Keeps Things Tense Early

Jamieson comes in again, this one swings back in. de Zorzi goes hard at it, trying to hit over mid-on, but he doesn’t quite time it. Gets a bit of the inner half, and the ball runs away behind square on the leg side all the way to the fence at deep square leg. Not the cleanest contact, but it does the job, first boundary up for South Africa.

Game on. Tony de Zorzi and Wiaan Mulder are out in the middle, taking guard for South Africa, with de Zorzi on strike and ready to face the first ball. Kyle Jamieson has the new ball in hand for New Zealand, a tall figure charging in to open the attack.

Slip cordon set, fielders ringed around the bat, a testing first over awaits as Jamieson looks to extract bounce and movement right away. The atmosphere tightens, here we go.
