Devon Conway scored a brilliant unbeaten 99, as New New Zealand defeated Australia by 53 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series on Monday.
After being asked to bat by Australian skipper Aaron Finch, New Zealand lost openers Martin Guptill and Tim Siefert to Daniel Sams and Jhye Richardson cheaply.
In the 4th over, Sams provided another crucial breakthrough by dismissing skipper Kane Williamson for 12 to leave the hosts were reeling at 19/3.
The pair of Conway and Glenn Phillips then resurrected the innings with a valuable 74 run stand for the fourth wicket, before the latter was caught at cover by Mitchell Marsh off the bowling of Marcus Stoinis for a breezy 30.
The 29 year old left Conway then added 47 runs for the fifth wicket with James Neesham before the Wellington all-rounder, bought by Mumbai Indians in the recent IPL auction, fell to Jhye Richardson for a quickfire 15 ball 26.
Johannesburg-born Conway remained unbeaten on 99 to take New Zealand to a competitive 184/5 at the end of their allotted 20 overs.
Migael Pretorius stole victory from the jaws of defeat for the VKB Knights as the Bloemfontein based outfit picked up their first win of the CSA T20 Challenge today (February 22, 2021)
When Grant Mokoena holded out to Tony de Zorzi off Ziyaad Abrahams in the last over, the batsmen crossed and it left Pretorius 16 to get off the final 3 balls. He hit two sixes in succession to bring the equation to 4 off 1. Abrahams then bowled a perfect yorker that Pretorius was unable to get a bat on, but unfortunately for the Cobras, it was adjudged to be a no-ball. Pretorius then hit a 4 off the final delivery despite the best efforts of a diving George Linde on the boundary to take the Knights home in stunning fashion.
Given the crazy sum Chris Morris went for (INR 16.25 crore/ ZAR 32.5m) in the IPL 2021 auction, Pretorius is another that scouts will be keeping an eye on closely. He also hit 38 off 23 in the previous game for the Knights, and a hard hitting fast bowling all-rounder is worth their gold in the T20 format.
Pretorius did have a bit of luck though- he was dropped by Imran Manack in the penultimate over bowled by Corbin Bosch. It was a tough chance, but one that effectively made the difference between defeat and victory for the Cobras.

Hanuma Vihari and Ravi Ashwin batted for over 40 overs, as India managed an unlikely looking draw against Australia in the third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.
Resuming at 98/2, India lost skipper Ajinkya Rahane in the just the second over to Nathan Lyon.
Rishabh Pant who came in ahead of Hanuma Vihari was dropped twice by skipper Tim Paine early on in his innings. The dashing wicket keeper batsman capitalized on the opportunity and smashed the Australian bowlers all over the park.
Pant along with Cheteshwar Pujara added 148 runs for the fourth wicket, before the former was caught by Pat Cummins for an entertaining 97. His knock came off just 112 balls with 12 fours and 3 sixes.
Josh Hazlewood provided the vital breakthrough for the home side by claiming the prize scalp of Pujara bowled for a solid 77, leaving the visitors in a spot of bother at 272/5.
Vihari and Ashwin batted for more than three hours, despite the former suffering a hamstring injury.
The duo faced 259 balls in their unbeaten 62 run stand which is most by an Indian sixth wicket pair Down Under.
The Andhra batsman remained unbeaten after scoring 23 runs off 161 balls while, veteran spinner Ashwin was not out on 39 off 128 deliveries, as India managed an epic draw.
Hazlewood and Lyon claimed 2 wickets each, while Cummins claimed a solitary wicket.

A fine all round performance from Australia helped them take control at the end of Day 3 of the third test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Resuming at overnight score of 96/2, the pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara added 21 more runs, before the former bottom-edged a Pat Cummins delivery on to his stumps for 22.
Hanuma Vihari’s short stay at the crease ended after he was run out brilliantly by Josh Hazlewood at mid off.
Pujara along with Rishabh Pant added 53 valuable runs for the fifth wicket, before the latter was caught at first slip by Warner off Hazlewood for a breezy 36. The dashing left handed batsman had earlier been struck by a Cummins delivery on the elbow and looked uncomfortable, and Wriddhiman Saha ended up keeping wickets for India later in the day.
Things got from bad to worse as the visitors lost Pujara in the very next over, as he gloved a Cummins ball to wicketkeeper Tim Paine for 50.
R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah also carelessly threw their wickets away via run outs as India’s middle order collapse continued. From 195/4, the visitors stumbled to 244 all out, giving the home side a 94 run lead. Ravi Jadeja remained unbeaten on 28, but he also suffered an injury, with a rising delivery striking him on the thumb of his bowling hand.

Ravindra Jadeja’s 4/62, followed by a fine maiden half-century from Shubman Gill as the visitors edged Day 2 of the third test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.
Resuming at overnight score of 166/2, the pair of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith added 40 more runs before the former was caught at slip by Ajinkya Rahane off Jadeja for 91.
Matthew Wade in trying to attack the left arm spinner was caught at mid wicket by Bumrah.
Bumrah struck twice by dismissing Cameron Green leg before wicket for a duck and then accounting for skipper Tim Paine with a brilliant inswinger.
Neither Pat Cummins nor Nathan Lyon troubled the scorers as both fell cheaply to Jadeja.
Mitchell Starc made a useful 24 before top edging a Saini delivery to Gill.
Star batsman Smith was the last man to fall for a brilliantly made 131, run out by a superb throw from deep square leg by Jadeja.
Australia thus finished on 338, a decent score but far less then what they would have imagined after being 206/2 at one stage.
Ravi Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/62, while debutant Saini and ace pacer Bumrah grabbed two apiece.
Trailing by 338 runs, India got off to a solid start with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill adding 70 runs for the opening wicket.
The former looked good in his knock of 26, before he chipped one straight back to Josh Hazlewood who completed a simple caught and bowled.
Gill looked in fine touch and made a composed half century, the first of his fledgling test career, before edging a Pat Cummins delivery to Green at gully.
The pair of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane kept the Australian bowlers at bay, as the visitors ended Day 2 at 96/2, 242 runs behind.
Stumps as the end of Day 2- India 96/2 (Shubman Gill 50, Rohit Sharma 26; Pat Cummins 1/19) Australia 338 all out (Steve Smith 131, Marnus Labuschagne 91. Ravindra Jadeja 4/62, Navdeep Saini 2/65, Bumrah 2/66)
