New Zealand vs South Africa, 1st ODI at Hamilton, , Feb 19 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

smacks it down the ground to win it for South Africa! Outstanding inning from de Villiers. Although to be honest, this might have been the easiest shot he's played on the night. Half-volley on off stump - Southee misses the yorker - and it's been biffed between the bowler and mid-off

goes full and straight, Andile tries to flick, gets a leg bye behind square leg

nails the yorker just outside off, Andile tries to dig it out but is beaten for pace

carries over the long-on boundary! This is a mis-hit. His balance is all over the place, leaning back from the shot, so he gets a toe end and yet it carries all the way. Short boundaries for the win

slower bouncer, de Villiers tries to get on top of it and swat it into the leg side. Misses. They collect a bye too. Oh, and the height is too much. Called wide by the square leg ump

length ball outside off - it's the offcutter - beats the big slog. Could have been a dot, but Latham fumbles behind the wicket

smears a yorker well outside off through cover. He should be able to retain strike. Oh wait, he's going for a second run

the wide yorker again at 136 kph and he beats de Villieres' slash to third man. Beats the inside edge

lands the yorker on middle, squeezes it out to cover for a quick single

slower ball, banished! Andile has the room to swing free. And he can get under it as well. Straight over long-off. Good area to hit. Massive hit in the context of the game

what a beauty. This is a full delivery, aiming for the base of off stump, tailing in as well. Andile clears his front leg looking for a boundary over long-on, but the ball sneaks under his swing and then cuts away to the wicketkeeper

good bowling. He's keeping it away from AB's swing and the wide yorker works perfecly. The batsman is shaping to move to leg to free the arms but he has to reach out and jam it through the covers

pushes it through just outside off - the emphasis on not giving up boundaries - for the final ball of the over and Andile can only cut it to point. Good finish, Sodhi

sweeps a flighted delivery from outside off past short fine leg, but deep square is there

another googly, this one shorter and outside off, Andile goes for a whip through midwicket and mis-hits it for a single

that's a big hit in the context of the game! Andile goes for the reverse sweep, taking a length ball from leg stump and belts it over short third man. Must have picked the googly

goes for a reverse sweep, de Villiers goes for a reverse sweep, but doesn't make any connection. Sodhi goes up for an lbw decision, umpire Wilson says not out, but New Zealand go for a review. Impact might be outside off. No bat there. Williamson would have hoped the ball hit de Villiers on the full so that the ball will then have to be tracked as going on with the arm. No luck

massive turn as Sodhi loops the ball up, asking for the drive. De Villiers goes for it, but with the ball dipping and turning sharply, he is easily beaten

this is a low full toss, tailing into the batsman, Andile goes for a heave over midwicket, and misses

back of a length and angled into middle stump, de Villiers backs away and punches to deep point
