Martin Guptill yet again reminded of his hitting power, with a sparkling century as he guided his side to a seven-wicket victory over South Africa in fourth ODI in Hamilton on Wednesday.
Guptill, who had suffered two separate hamstring strains and not played for a month, scored 180 not out and combined with Ross Taylor (66) in a 180-run partnership to take New Zealand to 280-3 in 45 overs.
during the innings, he blasted 11 sixes and 15 boundaries. The total had looked to be a difficult one to achieve on the slow-paced pitch but Guptill seized control of the chase with arguably the best innings of his career.
