New Zealand in South Africa Cricket Series 2007
Third ODI at Cape Town
SA vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Cape Town: South Africa beat New Zealand by 5 wickets
Dec 04, 2007
Herschelle Gibbs hit a majestic century as South Africa cruised to a series-clinching five-wicket win in the third and final one-day international against New Zealand at Newlands on Sunday.
Gibbs made 119 off 101 balls as South Africa chased down New Zealand's 238 for eight with 28 balls to spare.
Playing on his home ground, Gibbs raced to fifty off 40 balls and reached his 19th one-day international century in the 21st over off 77 deliveries with 10 fours and six sixes.
New Zealand struggled early in their innings after winning the toss.
Fast bowler Dale Steyn, playing in his first match of the series, dismissed both opening batsmen cheaply and New Zealand were 79 for four after 22 overs before Scott Styris (60) and Mathew Sinclair (73) led a recovery.
Styris and Sinclair put on 49 for the fifth wicket. Sinclair then shared stands of 56 with Jacob Oram and 43 with Kyle Mills as the Black Caps reached a competitive total.
SA vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Cape Town: South Africa 242-5 (45.2 overs) beat New Zealand 238-8 (50 overs) by five wickets
