    "editor1": "<p>Christchurch, Feb 22 (CRICKETNMORE): New Zealand defeated South Africa by six in the second One-Day International (ODI) at the Hagley Oval here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand&#39;s veteran batsman Ross Taylor got to a record 17th ODI century off the last ball of the New Zealand innings before the bowlers did the needful to stop the Proteas six runs short, according to the ICC&#39;s official website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taylor scored an unbeaten 102 to help New Zealand post 289\/4 after they opted to bat. South Africa came within sniffing distance, thanks to a late 26-ball half-century from Dwaine Pretorius, but eventually finished on 283\/9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/india-vs-australia-1st-test-match-preview--24137\">Also Read:&nbsp;Confident India to take on Australia in opening Test<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taylor had shared the New Zealand record of 16 ODI centuries with Nathan Astle, and had been in a rich vein of form since returning from eye surgery in early January.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On his way to his century, Taylor also became only the fourth New Zealander to score 6,000 ODI runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He received excellent support from the skipper Kane Williamson and Jimmy Neesham. Neesham scored an unbeaten 71, while Williamson notched up 69.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ben-stokes-far-behind-wrestling-star-mariya-stadnik-in-per-minute-income--24139\">Also Read: &nbsp;Ben Stokes far behind wrestling star Mariya Stadnik in per minute income<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing a competitive total, many South African batsmen -- including Quinton de Kock (57) and AB de Villiers (45) -- made good starts but were unable to go on and anchor the innings. As a result, South Africa looked out of the competition at 214\/8, but Pretorius gave New Zealand some nervous moments, helped by mis-fields and poor bowling at the death.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The third ODI will be played in Wellington on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n",
