New Zealanders see the light

NEW Zealand recorded their first win on tour yesterday when they beat South Africa by 47 runs in the first one-day cricket international under floodlights at Adelaide Oval.

After scoring 224 for six in their 50 overs, the New Zealanders restricted their opponents to 177 all out in 47.5 overs in a day-night World Series match.

It was New Zealand's first victory in nine tour matches since arriving in Australia in October and just reward for a disciplined and committed performance.

All-rounder Chris Harris hit 52 not out and took one for 32 in an accurate 10-over spell of medium pace.
