Harare, July 26 -- In a nail-biting finish, Matt Henry emerged as New Zealand's hero, delivering a brilliant final over under pressure to help the Black Caps lift the T20 Tri-Series trophy in Harare, edging past South Africa by just 3 runs in the final.

With just 7 runs needed off the last over, it looked like South Africa had the edge, especially with the dangerous Dewald Brevis still at the crease but Henry held his nerve superbly. On the second ball of the over, he dismissed Brevis, who had already smashed three sixes and a boundary in a fiery 16-ball 31. Later, on the fifth delivery, he removed George Linde (10), sealing the game for New Zealand.
