In the same test, Grace Nweke put in a dominant performance, scoring 60 goals. [8] [9] Nweke captained New Zealand for the third test. South Africa put in their best performance of the series. However, Martina Salmon clinched a late win for New Zealand when she landed the winning goal with one second left.
