Kane Williamson leads New Zealand to last-over win against South Africa at Cricket World Cup

Cricket umpires inspect the pitch ahead of the Cricket World Cup match between New Zealand and South Africa at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham, England on June 19, 2019.Kane Williamson hit a six in the last over to reach his century and followed it up with a boundary to give New Zealand a four-wicket victory over South Africa with three balls to spare Wednesday in the closest finish of the Cricket World Cup so far.

The win moved New Zealand atop the standings and effectively put an end to South Africa’s chances of reaching the playoffs. Williamson and de Grandhomme joined with the total at 137-5 in reply to South Africa’s 241-6 off 49 overs, and their partnership was crucial in guiding New Zealand to its fourth win of the tournament.

Williamson won everything on Wednesday, including the toss. And while New Zealand failed to bowl out a team for the first time at the tournament, South Africa’s total appeared too little to test the Black Caps. Yet, the result was in the balance until the end.
