Jeetan Patel led New Zealand to a victory in South Africa's maiden T 20 international

The debut of South Africa to T20 internationals was not a very memorable one. South Africa hosted New Zealand and the T20 international was played at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.

The hosts were bundled out for a mere 133 in 19.3 overs with Nathan Astle and Jeetan Patel both picking up 3 wickets each. The South African skipper Graeme Smith top-scored for the home team and scored 61 runs.

The visitors chased the target comfortably with 2 overs remaining and 5 wickets in hand. Jeetan Patel was named the Man of the Match for his heroics with the ball.
