New Zealand vs South Africa, 2nd ODI Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all for today. A straight shootout now between Pakistan and South Africa to see who can claim that spot in the final of this tri-nation cup. Over to Karachi now. Bye from Lahore!

Mitch Santner: That's the main thing, having different guys performing and stepping up. It is pleasing for the squad. We'll head to Karachi now and prepare for the final. We pride ourselves on having many options, and squeezing players in the middle overs, especially on flatter decks where you need to make things happen. (On Williamson) It was an outstanding knock, that partnership with Conway made things a lot easier. It was a better wicket than the one against Pakistan, there was a lot more grass on this one.

Temba Bavuma: There were some positives. The debutants did well and from a bowling point of view everyone chipped in, but we weren't good enough. We will like to focus on those positives though. It was a bit tricky with the new ball, they got the ball to nip around. It did get easier later on, we would have liked to get some more runs. We have to be a lot better from today, with our batting and bowling we need to be clinical. It is a quick turnaround, but individually we will have to get better. (On Breetzke) He was amazing, he was waiting in the wings. He is one of the few guys who plays all three formats. Glad to see him repay the trust the selectors are showing in him. Hope he can only get stronger.

Kane Williamson | Player of the Match: The conditions were brilliant. Today was a good effort. South Africa did great to get to 300 after a difficult start, we had to work hard to chase this down. We just got to keep going to different venues so we need different things. Today was the early start which needed different preparation. It will all help us prepare for the Champions Trophy. (Comparing his hundred to Phillips') He is a lot stronger than me, so we do things differently. We had to build partnerships to chase a score like that. Conway played well, and it was a great team effort.

17:23 Local Time, 12:23 GMT, 17:53 IST: Another day, another 300 plus target chased on a canter. The scorecard will tell that New Zealand took nearly 49 overs to chase this down, but at no point were they not in control of this chase. They got a decent start through Will Young and Devon Conway, before the former was dismissed by Eathan Bosch. New batter Williamson though settled in for the long haul with Conway. The former New Zealand skipper looked positive from the get go, hitting over the infields and scoring at a good tilt, getting to his century at a strike rate of nearly 140. Conway too motored along as the pacers were taken down in the middle overs when the pitch offered them nothing. Conway too looked good for a ton but he was dismissed three short of it. There was a slight stutter as Muthusamy picked up two wickets in an over shortly after, but Glenn Phillips and Kane Williamson ensured there were no further hiccups. Stick around for the presentations...

Muthusamy to Williamson, FOUR, the field was brought in and Williamson shimmies forward and drills his drive to the right of mid-off. Runs away for four. New Zealand are through to the final, this is their highest successful chase against South Africa.
