48.4Muthusamy to K Williamson4
Four runs. FOUR! Senuran Muthusamy to Kane Williamson. Stock length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. It's all over! Kane Williamson strikes the winning runs, and the Kiwis have qualified for the final of this thrilling Tri-Series. Will Young and Devon Conway provided a solid start in the chase, but it was the standout partnership between Conway and Williamson that really took the game away from South Africa. The Proteas bowlers had no answers to their controlled batting. New Zealand did lose a couple of quick wickets to Senuran Muthusamy, who impressed on debut, including the well-set Conway just three runs short of a deserved century. However, Williamson completed a 14th career ODI century, and would remain unbeaten as Glenn Phillips joined him in guiding New Zealand over the line. Kane Williamson is the well-deserved Player of the Match for his outstanding performance with the bat.
