New Zealand dramatically reversed their cricket fortunes to win their first one-day series in South Africa with a 27-run victory in the second game at De Beers Diamond Oval on Tuesday.

Having slumped to successive innings losses in the Test series, the Black Caps bounced back strongly with consecutive wins in the ODIs for an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-game series.

Kane Williamson dominated New Zealand’s innings with a career-high 145 not out to help his team to 8-279.

The tourists then forced South Africa into a major collapse as the Proteas went from 1-167 to 252 all out after an incredible five run outs in the innings.

Kyle Mills was New Zealand’s best bowler with 2-28.
