The Proteas celebrate the wicket of Martin Guptill.
Auckland – Marchant de Lange took two wickets in a final over Wednesday that conceded only three runs as South Africa blunted New Zealand's run chase to win the third Twenty20 international by three runs and take the series 2-1.
New Zealand started the last over needing seven runs with five wickets in hand to overhaul South Africa's total of 165/7, but floundered spectacularly to finish on 162/7 for one of their most embarrassing international defeats.
Even a no-ball by De Lange from the last delivery of the innings couldn't save New Zealand. When he overstepped, the New Zealanders needed a four from the last ball to win the match and series.
But Tim Southee, newly at the crease and facing his first ball, played and missed outside off stump. – Sapa-AP
