2015 World Cup result | NZ beat South Africa by 4 wickets in a nail biting encounter

[Firebreaker]

Today is the first semi final of World Cup 2015 between the deserving teams.The teams who qualified on their on rather than relying on the other teams.I hope it is a close game and not boring like QFs.Right now it's drizzling in Auckland but I hope it doesn't affect the game.

 

[BuccalSingh]

NZ to loose this one, like they always do in semis.Always underachievers.

 

[CPU_1]

May be both teams got promotion this time ?

Nz to Final
SA to win one KO ( QF )

:ahmed

 

[Anuj25]

SA will chase and fall.
Nz to loose in the finals

 

[Scorpion]

Cracker of a match and it's 8 pm instead of 10:30 PM CST

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Dunno if anyone has mentioned, but AB has got flu.

 

[seether1]

i work near Eden Park weather here is not looking that great was raining in the morning but its expected to clear up by the afternoon, it will remain cloudy so i think the ball will swing which is good for NZ

 

[CPU_1]

So Nz will choose to bowl if they win toss ?

 

[seether1]

i am not sure about that, but here the ball usually does move around in damp conditions.

 

[CPU_1]

Waiting for another Bolt / Southe Master class

 

[seether1]

typical Auckland... weather is clearing up maybe its gona be a hot day!? i duno

 

[Anfield]

Let's go South Africa!

 

[Anfield]

Dunno if anyone has mentioned, but AB has got flu.

Yea read minor throat infection.

 

[Swanny]

Cmon baz score a 100(29)

 

[seether1]

might be a high scoring game eden park is really small

 

[Thivagar]

This will be a good match. I have a feeling that RSA will win this but I wan't NZ to win this.

 

[CricketCartoons]

I am already feeling bad about this match. I don't want either team to lose. Wish they had met in the finals.

 

[RWAC]

Hope South Africa carry their usual semi-final run. Go NZ!

SA batting first. Woot Woot!!

 

[Scorpion]

Tough task for SA top order. Gun bowling attack from NZ with the inclusion of Matt Henry

 

[saadibaba]

I was really hoping for NZ to bat first and see McCullum and Guptill bat. I hope Boult and Southee can get some early wickets.

Go NZ !!!

 

[Anfield]

Amla needs to step otherwise all those fastest records would mean nada.

 

[BuccalSingh]

SA should post a big total against Fluky kiwis, hope SA trash them in their own backyard

 

[soso_killer]

Good luck South Africa, make these 2 hours I have worthwhile.

Go NZ !!!

This is potentially a cracker . NZ batting first would most likely be a one sided game .

 

[xerox]

Amla and Tahir are going to be the key players for SA today.

 

[jusarrived]

I am already feeling bad about this match. I don't want either team to lose. Wish they had met in the finals.

or both would have lost in the semis like 92 , so this is not so bad in the end atleast one of the chokers will get rid of the tag

 

[soso_killer]

What a ball by Boult

 

[jusarrived]

Amla and Tahir are going to be the key players for SA today.

AB and Steyn .

Tahir may go for runs on these smaller grounds

 

[BuccalSingh]

India SA final would be great!

 

[xerox]

Amla is the best non-Pakistani player I like.. superb human being and a master player.

 

[xerox]

AB and Steyn .

Tahir may go for runs on these smaller grounds

Tahir has shown in QF what he can achieve.. and Amla is always a class player..

 

[soso_killer]

Another edge and a drop by Ronchi

 

[jusarrived]

ok

 

[Suleiman]

LOL kiwis choking big time.

One of them had to choke, looks like NZ has stepped up.

 

[Laal]

It's only a matter of time for de Kock.

 

[FreeBird]

Boult, What a seam position !!!!

 

[Anfield]

De Kock needs to play with a straight back right now. Was a very poor shot!

 

[soso_killer]

SA looking shaky here

 

[Laal]

It's a drop extravaganza!

 

[Anfield]

Another dropped lol

 

[jusarrived]

lol what are kiwis doing

 

[Laal]

SA has no idea what's going on. Lol.

 

[ares1000]

2 drops already.

 

[Strike Rate]

Both teams looking nervous

 

[Zeshan547]

Bola Tha na Ronchi Dhoka de Ga.

 

[battler]

kiwis choking again

 

[Strike Rate]

lol what are kiwis doing

making Pakistan proud but only Ronchi one was an easy one the Guptill one was a tough chance and so was Boult.

 

[ares1000]

[jusarrived]

Amla dosesnt have a weakness against short pitch bowling ?

 

[jusarrived]

making Pakistan proud but only Ronchi one was an easy one the Guptill one was a tough chance and so was Boult.

Yeah but by their standards it wasnt difficult

 

[Zeshan547]

Hobbits alredy started Bottling

 

[Laal]

Doesn't look good for SA. Should seriously see off the new ball.

 

[ares1000]

Amla gone. He always messes up in the big games.

 

[Zeshan547]

And Saf has started choking

 

[battler]

Amla chokes again

 

[jusarrived]

Poor technique exposed again .

 

[soso_killer]

Amla gone, Boult deserved that. He's bowled well

 

[Anfield]

It's certified Amla can't handle pressure.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Amla OUT )


Seriously....

 

[volcyz]

Chokela gone oh my word.....

 

[Laal]

You can't slash and dash every ball. Give the bowler some respect and see off the new ball.

 

[Zeshan547]

Bottlers VS Chokers, what a match, Both teams trying their best to Lose.

 

[FreeBird]

Boult has the true potential of being the heir of Wasim Akram

 

[RWAC]

bhai flopped again. mster

 

[Suleiman]

Bhai Association are having a wretched tournament.

Wanted to see him score a really big score as long as he didn't beat Saeed Anwar's 194.

 

[rhony]

Amla bottles again when it matters...

 

[ares1000]

It's certified Amla can't handle pressure.

No doubt any more. Clear pattern of choking.

 

[Anfield]

making Pakistan proud but only Ronchi one was an easy one the Guptill one was a tough chance and so was Boult.

Boult was late to react and misjudged completely.

 

[soso_killer]

The ball is swinging miles especially Boult.
What does choking have to do with anything?

 

[SamNJ]

Got out 2 times in a small innings. What a horrible player under pressure.

 

[SL_Fan]

It's on like donkey kong!

 

[SL_Fan]

Faf to score a match winning 100. Bookmark it.

 

[Electron]

Good for nothing Ireland basher gone.

 

[Laal]

The ball is swinging miles especially Boult.
What does choking have to do with anything?

Agreed. Not just swinging, but swinging late. Almost makes it unplayable.

 

[Zeshan547]

Amla Has Made Yk look like a legend when it comes to performing in big matches.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The ball is swinging miles especially Boult.
What does choking have to do with anything?

Unfortunately the ball that got Amla had nothing to do with swing.

Just went with the angle.

Next excuse?

 

[bill_123]

faf looking pretty good...he may fire big here

 

[xerox]

Good for nothing Ireland basher gone.

He will surely fire in the final..

 

[Anfield]

Unfortunately the ball that got Amla had nothing to do with swing.

Just went with the angle.

Next excuse?

Plus his feet got glued. Didn't move at all. Also count in the poor hook shot as well which was dropped by Boult.
