The Black Caps have levelled their T20 series against South Africa with a dominant win in the second match in Hamilton on Tuesday.
New Zealand won by 68 runs after bowling the Proteas out inside 16 overs.
After being sent into bat, New Zealand posted 175/6 in the first innings with opener Devon Conway leading the charge.
Conway scored 60 runs, which included six boundaries, while there was also late power-hitting from Cole McConchie (18 not out) and Josh Clarkson (26 not out).

Clarkson hit two fours and two sixes from just nine balls.
South Africa’s reply never really got going, with regular wickets stalling any hopes of a chasing down New Zealand’s target.
Lockie Ferguson (3/16) and Ben Sears (3/14) picked up three wickets apiece, while Santner also grabbed two.
The third match will be played in Auckland on Friday.
