New Delhi. In the T20 match being played between New Zealand and South Africa, a moment was seen which surprised the cricket fans. South African batsman Wiaan Mulder hit such a skyscraper six in Hamilton that the ball crossed the boundary of the stadium and fell straight on the road. The video of this explosive shot is now going viral on social media.

Jamieson showed power on the ball

The South African team was chasing the target of 176 runs, but the start was very slow. Only 5 runs were scored in the first two overs. In such a situation, in the third over, Viaan Mulder adopted an aggressive style and played a strong shot over mid-wicket on the ball of Kyle Jamieson. The ball went about 100 meters away and fell on the road outside the stadium. This shot was so long that even the players and spectators present on the field were stunned for a few moments.

Hamilton’s ground is generally considered large and such long chances are rarely seen here. The special thing was that in the direction where Mulder played the shot, there was no big stand, due to which the ball went straight outside the field. Such opportunities are rarely seen in cricket.

Great shot, but the team did not win

However, this brilliant shot of Viaan Mulder could not help the team win. South Africa National Cricket Team, chasing the target of 176 runs, was all out for 107 runs. On the other hand, New Zealand National Cricket Team performed brilliantly and won the match by 68 runs.

Equal, competitive and exciting series

With this victory, New Zealand has leveled the five-match series at 1-1. South Africa won the first match, but in the second match the host team made a strong comeback. Now the remaining three matches will be contenders for the series and each match will be like a ‘final’.\

A chance to settle the score of old defeat

The two teams also recently clashed in the semi-finals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, where New Zealand defeated South Africa. In such a situation, this series is also being considered as an opportunity for revenge for South Africa.
