South Africa vs New Zealand Score, Final of Twenty20 Tri-Series in Zimbabwe 2025

Matt Henry to Senuran Muthusamy. Off cutter short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, missed for no runs, fielded by Seifert. With that, the game comes to a close. New Zealand has successfully defended the posted total and claims the T20I Tri-Series trophy. After a great start from the Proteas openers Luhan-dre Pretorius and Reeza Hendricks, wickets in the middle overs brought New Zealand back into the game. A late cameo from Dewald Brewis helped the Proteas to finish close to the target, but it went in vain. Matt Henry is the stand-out performer for the Kiwis picking up two wickets in the crucial final over, and is rewarded by being named both Player of the Match and Series.
