Guptill fires NZ to victory
Print Edition
OPENER Martin Guptill returned from injury to score an unbeaten 180 and lead New Zealand to a seven-wicket win over South Africa in the fourth one-day international yesterday, tying the five-match series at 2-2.
Guptill has been sidelined for the past month with hamstring injuries and was making his first ODI appearance since January 30. He shrugged off that enforced layoff, dashing to his 12th ODI century from 82 balls at Seddon Park in Hamilton. Guptill’s 180 from 138 balls contained 15 fours and 11 sixes and was the highest score by a New Zealand batsman against South Africa, and his unbroken stand with Ross Taylor (66) was the highest for New Zealand against the Proteas. The pair guided New Zealand to its winning total of 280-3, surpassing South Africa’s 279-8 with five overs to spare.
