New Zealand thrash out-of-form SA

Second one-day international, Port Elizabeth: South Africa 209-9 (50 overs) lost to New Zealand 210-3 (38.4 overs) by seven wickets

New Zealand finally enjoyed a win on their tour of South Africa as they levelled the one-day series with a crushing seven-wicket victory.

Kyle Mills set the tone by removing Herschelle Gibbs second ball as New Zealand's bowlers found their range, restricting South Africa to 209-9.

A 154-run partnership between Brendon McCullum (81) and Jamie How (76) soon took the game away from South Africa.

Scott Styris and Ross Taylor finished it off as NZ won with 11.2 overs left.
