New Zealand won their last match against the South Africa team by 21 runs, in which Tim Robinson, the new number three of New Zealand, gave an amazing 75 runs innings alongside the debutant Debon Jacobs, who scored 44 runs in 30 balls to help his team reach 173 runs in 20 overs against the packed South Africa Lineup.
