Hosts South Africa kept their semi-finals hopes alive as they bounced back in style to secure a 65-run over New Zealand in the Women’s T20 World Cup.

All-rounder Chloe Tryon was the chief architect of South Africa’s win as she top-scored with a 34-ball 40 to take their total to a competitive 132 for six after a top-order collapse at the Boland Park here on Monday.

Tryon (2-3) and Nonkululeko Mlaba (3-4) then formed a deadly combination in a sensational display of left-arm spin bowling that choked the chase of White Ferns who were bundled out for 67.
