Dale Steyn tore apart the battling lineup as South Africa registered a crushing win over New Zealand

New Zealand vs South Africa
Result: South Africa won by an innings and 134 runs
MoM: DW Steyn​
 
My best match till date , coming against my most hated opposition .:D
Reminds me of the Chennai test in 2008 , England have done just that , trailing by 100 after the first innings , Finn's spectacular cleaning up of tail similar to what Zaheer did in 2008 , Strauss's century in the first innings , wow just over the moon atm . And I'm top of the table after this victory IIRC .

@Dipak & Truman : Revenge is always sweet. :D

A defeat after a long winning streak, not entirely disappointing. We slipped beyond our usual caliber in our bowling, conceding 400+ runs in the second innings, and with our tail collapsing entirely.

I hope this loss doesn't become a curse on us, and embroils us in a trap of further losses.
