At Dunedin, February 14 (day/night). New Zealand won by three wickets. Toss: New Zealand.
The South Africans got off to a frantic start, and only Kallis settled in for a long innings; the others went recklessly for their strokes against accurate bowling and paid the price. Kallis dominated a disappointing total of 211 with a 117-ball century. Astle was the only one to stand firm for New Zealand as they lost four wickets for 56. But when he was out for 95, Nash was still there to lead the victory charge with a magnificent straight six off Donald.
