New Zealand will look to bag the series after winning the first T20I convincingly on Sunday. The second and final T20I takes place at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday, March 17.
In the first T20I at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, the home side posted a mammoth 190/7 in their 20 overs on the back of half-centuries from Georgia Plimmer and Amelia Kerr. In reply, South Africa scratched and clawed their way to 110/7 in their 20 overs. Sophie Devine was dismissed cheaply with the bat but contributed with a sensational four-for with the ball.
The White Ferns won the match by 80 runs and have a chance to win the series. On the other hand, South Africa can only level the series with a win on Tuesday.
