Rossouw goes for a quickfire 20-ball 38, but he has taken his side very close to a victory here tonight. Just 8 more needed now from 20 balls.

Boys cutting loose! Six for Amla, SA need 22 from 26 to win. 131/2 (15.4 ovs) #ProteaFire #SAvNZ

Been saying Rilee Rossouw is the left handed version of AB de Villiers #Proteas #SAvNZ

All too easy for South Africa, 30 to win from 30 deliveries now.

Bowler: Yo Hashim here's a half-trecker Amla: Thanks mate, i'll peacefully pull it for 1.

Oh and he is gone now! Huge disappointment for fans all around the world as AB departs for 33. SA 85 for 2.

Irrespective of the format, it's such a pleasure watching the Amla AB combination #proteas #proteafire #sscricket

Halfway mark, SA have this under control. 79 for 1 needing 73 more to win off the next 10.

Watch AB surpassing Amla's score like he wasn't there since ball 1 ..

South Africa have won the toss and opted to bowl first in the 1st T20I against New Zealand. #SAvNZ

Faf du Plessis is injured and hence AB de Villiers is leading the side today.
