Devine's Dazzling 64 Seals White Ferns' Highest Home Chase

Suzie Devine anchored a record-breaking pursuit with a brilliant 64, guiding the White Ferns to their highest successful T20 chase on home soil. Her 23rd half-century came on her Wellington home ground, captivating the crowd.

Earlier, Jess Kerr's exceptional bowling, with a career-best 3-16, put South Africa under pressure. Despite a strong finish from South Africa, boosted by Annerie Dercksen's maiden T20 fifty (55 not out), they set a challenging target of 160.

New Zealand's chase saw contributions from Amelia Kerr (31) and Georgia Plimmer (29) before Devine took control. A late surge, including 18 runs from one over, eased the required rate, and despite Devine's dismissal, Maddy Green and Brooke Halliday secured the victory with 11 runs needed from 17 balls.

This victory sets up a series-deciding final match on Wednesday, with both the White Ferns and their male counterparts heading to Christchurch.
