Scoring 196 and yet going on to win by 87 runs – that's something!

The Brabourne stadium in Mumbai has played host to a number of low-scoring games. West Indies registered the highest team total of 236/6 at Brabourne against Australia in 2006. Correspondingly, New Zealand won in an emphatic manner against South Africa in the Champions Trophy opener in 2006.

The Kiwis, being put on to bat, succumbed to Proteas’ bowling lineup, having been dismissed for a mere 196. None of the batsmen apart from skipper Stephen Fleming managed to get past the 50-run mark.

In their quest to defend the total, seamer Kyle Mills removed Dippenaar and Gibbs early on with Smith there in the middle. Mills along with Jacob Oram preluded the wicket-taking spree and with Jeetan Patel chipping in later, the Black Caps restricted South Africa to 108 to win the game by an incredible 87 runs.
