A purposeful century partnership from Tim Robinson and debutant Bevon Jacobs set up the Black Caps' victory.

South Africa promoted debutant left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy to No. 4, but the left-hander got his middle stumped knocked over by Ish Sodhi soon after the batting powerplay. Captain Rassie van der Dussen (6) was brilliantly run out by his counterpart Mitchell Santner at the non-striker's end as South Africa slumped to 62-5 in the ninth over.
