1st ODI: New Zealand v South Africa : Oct 21, 2014

83 - 5 after 18

Mornie double strike !

New Zealand 186/9 after 41 overs. 30 run 10th wicket partnership.

Ronchi finally out for 99. Great knock, though falling just 1 short of a much deserved maiden one-day century. New Zealand all out for 230 thanks largely to the 74 run 10th wicket partnership.

230 after 45 .1 overs  : Just could not last 50 , eh ?  :-[

Great knock by Cool Hand Luke !

Shame he missed out on ton

South Africa 151/4 from 38 overs. They need 80 from 72 balls.

AB finishes with a top score of 89 from 85 balls as South Africa ease home to a 6 wicket victory with 11 balls to spare. Not batting out their full allotment of 50 overs really hurt New Zealand.

South Africa is a definite WC favorite !
