Steyn Fires South Africa to Victory !!!

It was needed and he delivered it : STEYN !!!

What a performance by the Champion Bowler or we can say world's best bowler !!!

Needed just 7 of the last over and Dale went for just a boundary , took two wickets and a run out by himself of the last ball, to bring 2-run confidence booster victory for the Proteas.

• South Africa 170/6 (20 overs)

• New Zealand 168/8 (20 overs)

Though the Man of the Match is JP Duminy for his brilliant [building + hard hitting] innings which helped SA to get through a defend-able total .

Still we can say he[Steyn] was the game changer.And kinda deserved the MOM award; With fantastic figures in a T20I match a bowler can get 4ovrs-17runs-4wickets-run out !!!

During Presentation :

Brendon McCullum: "Credit to SA for the way they hung in there, we probably should have won it easily, can't take it to the final over against a top bowler like Steyn. Little bit of luck and we'd have got across the line." 

 

Faf du Plessis: " I was thinking all the time, Steyn is my trump card, I need to bring him back in the game. Fantastic effort from him.And that was one of the best innings I had seen from JP."
