When Dale Steyn came to bowl the final over, he had the target of defending mere seven runs off six deliveries

When seven runs are required from six deliveries in a Twenty20 match with five wickets in hand, then one will be inclined to put their money on the batting team to pull off a win. This is also after due consideration as to which bowler will bowl those six deliveries. The point is, one would always back the batting team as the odds are stacked up against the bowling side. But it does not mean that the bowling team cannot defend the score. When it does happen and on those very such rare occasions, it is usually the bowler who gets the credit.
