New Zealand cricket team clinches historic first Test series win vs Proteas 92 years and 18 attempts later
The New Zealand cricket team completed a clinical victory against an inexperienced South Africa as they won the NZ vs SA 2nd Test by 7 wickets. The win marks the Kiwis’ historic first-ever series win against the Proteas. A 133-run 4th inning knock from a calm and composed Kane Williamson powered the hosts to an easy win at Hamilton.
After surviving an early scare with the departure of Devon Conway’s on Day 3, the hosts started off Day 4 on a positive note. Williamson went on to score his 7th ton in seven games and his 32nd overall, becoming the fastest to do so.
Tom Latham managed to stick around for quite a bit but was ultimately dismissed for 30 runs. Southpaw Rachin Ravindra couldn’t replicate his first-test heroics as Piedt struck. Will Young scored a gritty fifty as he stuck around with the skipper to finish the game off for the hosts.
