Hamilton, March 1: Opener Martin Guptill's blistering unbeaten 180 off 138 deliveries helped New Zealand thrash South Africa by seven wickets at the Seddon Park here on Wednesday (March 1) and set up a series-decider in the fifth and final cricket One-day International (ODI) in Auckland on Saturday (March 4).
Chasing a decent 280, Guptill dominated a third-wicket stand of 180 with Ross Taylor who made 66 off 97 deliveries, the joint second-highest for the Kiwis and highest for any wicket against the Proteas.
