Potchefstroom: Martin Guptill hit an unbeaten century as New Zealand cruised to an eight-wicket win in the second one-day international against South Africa at Senwes Park on Sunday. Guptill made 103 not out, reaching his ninth one-day international with the winning boundary as New Zealand won with 5.5 overs to spare after bowling out South Africa for 204.
The win squared the three-match series, with the decider to be played in Durban on Wednesday. Doug Bracewell led a disciplined bowling performance as the South African batsmen failed to come to terms with a slow pitch.
