The Kiwis - who trail 2-1 - made 249 with man-of-the-match opener Rob Nicol top-scoring with 59. The hosts never got any momentum going and were bowled out for 161. New Zealand’s stand-in captain Kane Williamson said that the win was crucial for their chances in the series.
“It’s a great shift in momentum,” said Williamson. “We learned our lessons from the other games. It’s nice to get a win in such a crucial game.”
The fourth game of the series will be played tomorrow.
