Albie Morkel inspires South Africa
Albie Morkel's quickfire 40 helped take South Africa to a comfortable
13 run win in their opening Super Eights match against New Zealand at
the World Twenty20 here on Thursday.
His innings at the Kensington Oval lasted just 18 balls but still
featured five sixes and helped South Africa pile up a total of 170 for
four.
Together with AB de Villiers, who finished on 47 not out, he shared a
stand of 72 in six overs as they built on a solid foundation laid by the
top order.
De Villiers faced 39 balls with two sixes and a four.
New Zealand rarely looked like threatening South Africa's score,
finishing on 157 for seven.
