That's It! Kane Williamson drives the ball straight past the field for a four and that's a win for New Zealand. Another dominant win and they have made their place in the final of the Tri-Series. They will be joined by either of the winners of South Africa vs Pakistan match. Matthew Breetzke played a great knock earlier but it was not enough in front of joined hands of Devon Conway and Kane Williamson. 

Glenn Phillips survived a close call against Tabraiz Shamsi as he got beaten all ends up but the ball missed the stumps and went for byes. Phillips sticks to one end of the crease while Kane Williamson keeps the scoreboard ticking and pushing New Zealand towards a victory. 

Out! Golden Duck for Tom Latham and suddenly the Proteas are back in the game, They have now picked up three wickets in quick succession and compared to looking down and out a few moments ago, now they have a chance to claw back. Latham looked to sweep Muthusamy instantly and got caught infront of the stumps. His off form continues. Kane Williamson will have to see off the chase here.  Latham lbw b Muthusamy 0(1).

Out! Daryl Mitchell was looking in good tough but fails to finish the game quickly. Gets hold of Senuran Muthusamy down the ground but the long on was fine and he timed his jump perfectly to grab a very good catch. South Africa secured back-to-back strikes here but New Zealand still ahead.  Mitchell c Mulder b Muthusamy 10(10).

Out! Oh heartbreak for Conway. He hard works his way all the way up to 97 and then misses out on the century by three runs. Cuts a ball from Junior Dala spotting room but it goes straight into the hands of the point fielder. Conway sinks in disappointment and drags his body out. New Zealand still well on course for a big win.  Conway c Muthusamy b Junior Dala 97(107).

Hundred! Kane Williamson completes his century in just 72 deliveries. Has looked in superb control throughout his innings and he has just topped it with his 14th ODI century. Great news for New Zealand ahead of the Champions Trophy if Williamson is fit and firing. Some of the shots he played were brilliant. 

A sensational phase of play for New Zealand as they have completely dominated the bowlers of South Africa and scored at a free will. Runs have come thick and fast and the Kiwis now need just more than hundred runs with still 9 wickets and 20 overs to go. 

After Devon Conway, it is Kane Williamson who brought up his half-century in style. Stepped out against Tabraiz Shamsi and lofted him over long on for a huge six. Williamson and Conway look in control here and they have pushed the Proteas to the backfoot. 

Devon Conway has looked settled so far and has comfortably brought up his half century. He has successfully survived against the seamers and being a great player of spin he has been working the spinners around and such a shot helped him bring up his half-century. He will look to convert the start to a big score. 

Kane Williamson and Devon Conway carry the chase forward steady as they have looked well in control in a brief period of five overs and they look to set the stage for New Zealand to accelerate later on. 

Kane Williamson has joined forces with Devon Conway with the two experienced batters looking to build a partnership.

After being asked to bat first, they lost Temba Bavuma pretty early but Matthew Breetzke showed immense maturity on debut and ensured that a foundation was laid for a big score.

New Zealand are under the pump here and it remains to be seen how the remaining five overs turn out to be. South Africa have all the momentum now.
