- Scorecard: New Zealand vs South Africa
South Africa bounced back after the defeat to Sri Lanka in their opening match to beat New Zealand by five wickets in a Group B Champions Trophy match at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday.
AB de Villiers scored a 76-ball 70 as South Africa, chasing 215 for victory, were home at 217-5 in 41.1 overs.
Earlier, pacer Wayne Parnell wreaked havoc with a 5-57 haul as South Africa shot out New Zealand for a modest 214.
The left-arm paceman accounted for all the top Kiwi batsmen, including top scorer Ross Taylor, who hit a patient 72 off 106 balls.
