Matt Henry Holds Nerve As New Zealand Clinch Harare Tri-series Title In Thriller
New Zealand Clinch Harare: New Zealand pulled off a dramatic seven-run win over South Africa in Harare to claim the tri-series trophy, after a nerveless final over from Matt Henry.
In a high-scoring contest where chasing had been the trend, Henry became the difference-maker as the Kiwis successfully defended 181 – the only successful defense at this venue during the tournament.
South Africa, powered by a blazing 92-run opening stand between Reeza Hendricks and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, looked on course for victory at 92/0 in the 10th over. Pretorius was particularly impressive, striking a 33-ball fifty that included powerful hits over long-on and midwicket.
