South Africa need 59 off from 4 overs.

If we win this, which is looking highly likely right now, I hope Amelia Kerr wins the player of the tournament.

The fielding has been superb. Ben Sawyer has done a great job coaching the side.

South Africa need 50 runs off 3 overs.

Another wicket. 111-7.

New Zealand in total control of this match.

South Africa need 41 off 10 balls.

Bowled!!!!!!!

South Africa are 9 down.

Getting past 150 makes a massive difference in terms of scoreboard pressure. Going to be some happy kids at practices this week. One wicket to go.

South Africa are a good side, but they have been second best tonight.

Built pressure brilliantly. What a result.

What a weekend for NZ sport!!!

Incredible result. Crazy to think we'd lost 10 straight t20s in the lead in to this tournament!

Kerr player of the match and the tournament. What a ridiculous talent she is.

To Aust and Eng.

Who gives a shit now. Quite the weekend for NZ sport.

In hindsight, probably the best build up we could have had - in terms of 10 games against top quality opposition.

Those quick runs at the end from Halliday and Green made a big difference.

Funnily enough Cycs when I saw how girls went it reminded me of what James Parsons talked about on Aotearoa Rugby Pod last week. He was saying one of the great things he learnt playing top level sport is to be positive. When you are losing etc, you don't look to put blame etc on individuals etc, but look at how to fix things that went wrong!
And bloody good stuff from the girls, I not into T20 at all but still pleased for anyone who does well.
