SIX RUNS!!! Connor Esterhuizen deservingly hits the winning runs! South Africa win the first T20I at Bay Oval by 7 wickets! They did the hard work with the ball to keep New Zealand under 100 before the batters dug in on a tacky surface to do the rest inside 17 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in this 5-match series! Short of a length outside the off stump. Esterhuizen picks it up early and pulls it over deep backward square leg for a maximum. The debutant battled hard in his impressive knock, remaining unbeaten on 45 off 48 balls!!!
