NZ vs SA 3rd T20 Live Commentary | New Zealand vs South Africa T20I Live Cricket Score & Commentary

Описание: Hello and a warm welcome to the live coverage of the 3rd T20I between New Zealand and South Africa at Eden Park Auckland. It is a bright day with clear blue sky overhead in Auckland. The sun is drooping towards the horizon and casting long shadows on the park. We are still exactly 50 minutes away from sunset. The crowd is still building up.

Remember the women's fixture preceded this game. The stands were nowhere near full for that match but more spectators are expected to come in as the evening progresses. The five-match T20 series between New Zealand and South Africa is currently tied at 1-1 as the teams move to Auckland for the third game. KM Punk Live Match.

South Africa won the first match by seven wickets after bowling out New Zealand for only 91 runs. However New Zealand made a strong comeback in the second match winning by 68 runs. Devon Conway led the way with 60 runs and bowlers Ben Sears and Lockie Ferguson both took three wickets to help bowl out the Proteas for 107.

This third game at Eden Park is a big chance for one team to take the lead in the series. Both sides are still thinking about their recent meeting in the T20 World Cup semi-final earlier this month where New Zealand won easily. Because Eden Park has very short boundaries the batters will likely look to score many runs today. It should be an exciting contest as both teams fight to get ahead. Crictalks Live Match Today.
