Robinson's 75* Leads New Zealand to 21-Run Win Over South Africa

Tim Robinson smashed a career-best 75 not out off 57 balls to guide New Zealand to a 21-run victory over South Africa in their T20I tri-series match in Harare.

Robinson, who came to the crease at No. 3 after 17 balls with New Zealand struggling at 27/1, shared an unbroken stand of 103 runs with debutant Bevon Jacobs (44* off 30).

"We were struggling when we lost those early wickets," Robinson said. "The way me and Bev thought about it was that the longer we spent at the crease, the easier runs would come. We couldn't afford to lose many more wickets, so we were trying to take it as deep as we possibly could."

New Zealand posted a total of 173/5. Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy took three wickets each to restrict South Africa to 152 in 18.2 overs.

Robinson praised Jacobs' performance: "He's quite big and you think he should hit a big ball, and he sure does. He was very calm and looked to really enjoy it. He looked completely comfortable. I think he's going to play a lot of cricket in future."

Robinson attributed his success to staying grounded: "The one thing you have to do as a cricketer is to try and be as grounded as you can be – be where your feet are and try and play the ball that comes to you."

He expressed his desire to replicate his performance: "It's a great feeling contributing to a win for your country; an addicting feeling that I hope to replicate."
