If we think only about the performance of this series, then New Zealand is being put ahead to some extent based on that performance and if New Zealand can give their best, they will definitely be the champions of this tri-series.

New Zealand won the final game, as they were winning all the matches in this series and beat South Africa twice and also Zimbabwe as well, but this time in the final, we found that South Africa reached too close but just because of their hard luck and because of their lack of just three runs, they lost the game. They could have won it, but now they should learn from their mistakes and will try their best for the future series. On the other side, New Zealand were looking stronger from the start of the series and they deserved this title.

South Africa needed only four runs off the last two balls to win but unfortunately the last two balls were two dot balls and the South African batsman gave away a wicket off one of the two balls. However, since New Zealand had performed brilliantly throughout the series, they were worthy of winning this final match and in the end they were able to win. New Zealand was an undefeated team in this tri-series. If we look at the scorecard of the final match, we can see that New Zealand batted first and scored 180 runs and South Africa managed to score 177 runs in 20 overs, as a result of which New Zealand secured a three-run victory over South Africa in the final match.
