South Africa vs New Zealand 2017: 1st ODI, 5 Talking Points

#1 Phehlukwayo playing the part to perfection

Phehlukwayo bludgeoned the Kiwi bowlers towards the end

Big things weren't expected of Andile Phehlukwayo when he was handed his ODI debut. He was expected to be another bits and pieces all-rounder in South Africa's ODI jigsaw puzzle.

But the all-rounder surprised everyone by returning as the top wicket taker in the Australian series. He even played a superb cameo with the bat along with David Miller in a 371 run-chase.

As if to prove that knock was no fluke, Phehlukwayo combined with skipper, de Villiers set up a game-changing partnership. He made 29 of the 54 runs in the partnership, including two sixes in the last two overs that virtually sealed the game for the visitors.
