281/5 after 43.

The pitch is a typical batsman's paradise.

That is what is worrying me. NZ have some monster hitters up front.

280 gives us 297 to be precise i think

that's good enough, we can defend that. it's almost 7 RPO

Well played boys!!! WELL PLAYED!!!!

Philander's bowling in first spell will be crucial.

 

[Jola]

Well, the batsmen did as well as they could under the circumstances.

Now for the bowlers !

 

[Neoprod]

This is the most luck Ive ever seen us have in a knock out game.
Also the first time we had luck.

Small pieces of luck...NZ got a huge piece of luck with the rain.

Memo to SA bowlers: Strike!
Memo to fielders: Catch!

Let's take 'em all out for 129.

Outstanding end to the innings. Well done, lads!

298 is the adjusted total

NZ will be under Trench-level pressure when they come out to bat in front of their friends, families and fans in a semi-final match at their home yard. All Steyn and the co need to do is to hurl some harsh words towards their way and they will crumble like a 2 week old feta cheese

10 minute break.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Great knock guys. And well done to David Miller too! Crucial 49 there. AB strangely quiet post the rain interruption but with Miller going like a freight train, he didn't have to be the one making the running for a change.

Going to be a tall order for NZ to chase but we'll still need to be on the money from ball one. I believe we have what it takes to defend this though.

 

[Hamish McPanji]

Errrm.....298 could be the adjusted total . For anyone who missed that

 

[bokka1]

I just hope that Philander is fully match fit, I would have stuck with Abbot. Hopefully Philander proves me wrong.

Our bowlers are going to have to hit hard up front.

 

[Creag]

Chasing will make it a challenging total.

 

[Wall]

Millers inning would be the reason we win this.
