New Zealand won the 5th T20I by 92 runs

New Zealand women's cricket team had already won the series. The match played in Christchurch on March 25 was to decide just the margin of series victory. New Zealand team batted first in the 5th T20 and scored 194 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, South Africa had to bear the brunt of the failure of the batsmen. He scored only 102 runs losing 9 wickets in 20 overs.

New Zealand won due to captaincy

Now the question is how did the New Zealand women's team reach the big score of 194 runs? The answer to this is the amazing work done by its captain. The quick-fire century scored by Kiwi captain Amelia Kerr in the match made it easy for South Africa to crack the deal of victory.

Amelia Kerr scored her second T20I century

Amelia Kerr completed her century in 53 balls. His total innings was of 55 balls, in which he scored 105 runs. Amelia Kerr's innings included 19 fours and 1 six. This is the second century of his T20 career. Except Amelia Kerr, other New Zealand batsmen did not do anything special.

Bad batting took down South Africa

Talking about South Africa, it was difficult for any batsman from their side to score even 25 runs let alone reach a half-century. This poor performance of the batsmen became the reason for South Africa's recent situation.
New Zealand won the first match of the T20 series. After that, South Africa women's team leveled the series by winning the second T20. But then New Zealand women's team won the series by winning the third, fourth and fifth T20 consecutively.
