WATCH: Guptill wrecks his own stumps off Andile Phehlukwayo during WC match

Martin Guptill added another record to his name by becoming the first Kiwi cricketer to get out by clipping his own stumps (hit-wicket) in the ICC World Cup tournament

Chasing a target of 242 in 49 overs in rain-truncated match, New Zealand recovered from a mini slump at 137 for five as skipper Kane Williamson struck a composed unbeaten century to help New Zealand virtually knock out South Africa of the World Cup with a four-wicket victory in a last over finish on Wednesday. Meanwhile, New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill got dismissed in the most bizarre way against South Africa on Wednesday. The 32-year-old, who holds the record for attaining highest individual score in the mega 50-overs tournament, added another record to his name by becoming the first Kiwi cricketer to get out by clipping his own stumps (hit-wicket) in the ICC World Cup tournament. The incident took place on the last ball of the 14th over when Martin missed Andile Phehlukwayo’s delivery that saw him hitting the stumps with his foot. The star batsmen had scored 35 (59) before he gifted his wicket to the Africans.

An unfortunate dismissal for Martin Guptill in Wednesday's game!

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson believes the experience of playing here will hold his team in good stead. "It's just really nice to build those sorts of partnerships with that lower-middle order that were so important, and having that experience in those sorts of situations as a collective is a really beneficial thing," Williamson said after the match. "There's been a number of varying scores throughout this competition. I suppose weather has had a little bit to do with it but we've been on a variety of surfaces and it's been nice that guys have adapted well," he added.
