South Africa Cruise To Win After De Villiers Ton :

South Africa 254 for 4 (de Villiers 106*, du Plessis 66*) beat New Zealand 253 for 9 (B McCullum 56, Williamson 55) by six wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details.

A masterful run-a-ball 106 not out from AB de Villers shepherded an expert South Africa chase, as they hauled in New Zealand's 253 for 9 with six wickets and 4.4 overs to spare, taking the early series lead with victory in the first ODI in Wellington. de Villiers found support from JP Duminy after New Zealand took three wickets inside the mandatory Powerplay, before he pushed for the win alongside a more adventurous Faf du Plessis, who ended with an unbeaten 66 from 49 deliveries. The pair's 129-run stand swung the match decisively in their team's favour, after the South Africa bowlers had done well to restrict New Zealand earlier in the day. 

Kane Williamson's fighting half-century went in vain

de Villiers was calculating throughout his innings. Having arrived at the crease almost six overs after JP Duminy but quickly moved past his partner's score, despite taking few chances against a miserly New Zealand attack. Gaps in the infield were expertly picked out, with the signature downward dab to third man proving particularly fruitful. Boundaries were occasional, measured and superbly executed - coming only off bad balls, and just when South Africa needed to prevent the asking-rate from ballooning.
