An inability to hold onto wickets has cost the Black Caps the chance to seal the T20 series against South Africa, losing the fourth match at Hnry Stadium in Wellington by 19 runs tonight.
The Black Caps bowlers held South Africa to 164/5, as they chased the T20 series win.
New Zealand and South Africa are now locked up at 2-2 in the series, with one game to come.
Paceman Kyle Jamieson took 2/29 off his four overs, while Ben Sears restricted the Proteas batters in the final over.
Sears also took the wicket of Connor Esterhuizen, who topscored for South Africa, with 57 runs off 36 balls.
New Zealand made a fast start to the run chase, but tight bowling from the visitors saw the Black Caps lose regular wickets, and they were all out for 145.
