South Africa win low-scoring thriller

Lord's: South Africa left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe took two key wickets as the Proteas beat New Zealand by one run off the last ball in their 'dead' World Twenty20 group clash at Lord's here on Tuesday.
The Black Caps were cruising at 82 for two, chasing just 129 to win, when van der Merwe, who finished with two for 14, bowled Ross Taylor as the batsman slogged across the line.
He then had top scorer
Brendon McCullum stumped for 57 and New Zealand were 93 for four off 17 overs.
