PUNE: Fantastic displays from Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen helped South Africa get a massive 190-run victory against New Zealand here on Wednesday.

Earlier, Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen's batting was backed by the good work of Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee with scalps of their own. Keshav Maharaj struck in his opening over and took the wicket of Daryl Mitchell, finishing with a figure of 4-46.

With this win, South Africa moved to the top of the World Cup 2023 points table. This means that New Zealand's NRR took a big hit as they slid below Australia into fourth.

Chasing a target of 358, New Zealand tried their best to go for quick runs but lost their way.

Mitchell was keeping the hopes alive for the Black Caps before he was bowled out by Maharaj in the 19th over. New Zealand lost half their wickets by the 20th over.

The Proteas pace attack troubled opposition's batting by applying tremendous pressure, picking many wickets, and not giving away easy runs. Maharaj took a couple of key wickets before Glenn Phillips struck.

As the lone half-centurion in the Kiwi line-up, Phillips struck several powerful blows against the run of play.

Earlier, centurions De Kock and Van der Dussen shared a 200-run second-wicket stand that laid the groundwork for South Africa to score more than 300 runs.
