Skipper Jos Buttler was particularly happy with the return of Liam Livingstone (ankle) and Chris Jordan (finger) from injuries. "It's great to see Liam Livingstone back on the field after a significant injury, and get four overs from Chris Jordan as well," Buttler said. "We tried a few different things that guys were wanting to experiment with and this is the perfect time to try and do that." Last year's finalists New Zealand were bundled out for 98 runs in 17.1 overs by South Africa, who chased down the meagre target with 8.4 overs to spare.

Wayne Parnell struck twice in the powerplay before the South African spin duo of Keshav Maharaj (3-17) and Tabrazi Shamsi (2-6) ran through New Zealand's batting line up.
