South Africa vs New Zealand, 2nd Semi-Final (B1 v A2) - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ngidi to Michael Bracewell, out Caught by Rickelton!! Slower full ball wide outside off, Michael Bracewell reaches out and drives it uppishly to extra cover. Rickelton gets low to his right and takes it safely. Looks like he has hurt himself a bit while catching it but should be fine. Michael Bracewell c Rickelton b Ngidi 16(12) [4s-2]

Ngidi to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, shot! Ngidi switches to round the wicket and bowls an off-pace full ball outside off. Michael Bracewell is waiting for it. He leans ahead and smashes it towards long-off. The fielder hares to his left but has no chance to stop it

Ngidi to Phillips, FOUR, streaky but effective! 108.6kph slower length ball outside off, Phillips throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge past the keeper. Third man is inside the circle and a boundary results

Ngidi to Phillips, 2 runs, dug into the surface on off, Phillips pulls it to the left of Miller at long-on and picks up a brace. 350 up for New Zealand

Rabada to Michael Bracewell, leg byes, FOUR, skiddy back of a length ball in line of the stumps, Michael Bracewell looks to pull it across but it deflects off his thigh pad and beats the keeper to his left. Bonus runs these

Rabada to Phillips, FOUR, the runs are flowing! 119.1kph off-pace full ball well outside off, Phillips reaches out and hits it past the right side of the diving extra cover fielder. Found the gap and got what he wanted

Rabada to Phillips, SIX, what a shot! A delivery served up where Phillips likes it. It's in the slot. Phillips clears his front leg and hammers it downtown. Hit it with a lot of power and the ball flies over the fence for a flat maximum

Ngidi to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, easy pickings! A full ball straying on the pads, Michael Bracewell whips it nicely and the ball races to the long leg fence

Ngidi to Mitchell, out Caught by Rabada!! Mitchell falls one short of fifty! A slower fuller length ball wide outside off, Mitchell has to reach out and goes for the heave but is early into the shot and miscues it. Rabada in the deep moves to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a well-judged catch. A good knock from Mitchell nonetheless. Mitchell c Rabada b Ngidi 49(37) [4s-4 6s-1]

Marco Jansen to Phillips, FOUR, four consecutive boundaries to finish the over! Another slower shortish delivery, too predictable, Phillips waits for it and nails the pull through mid-wicket to get the desired result. We saw Phillips play a blazing knock against Pakistan in the death overs. He is looking in prime form today as well

Marco Jansen to Phillips, FOUR, three boundaries in a row! Pitched up outside off, right in the slot, Phillips gets into position and slams it down the ground and the ball races to the long-off fence

Marco Jansen to Phillips, FOUR, there's a thin line between using what's working on this surface and overdoing it! Another slower delivery on the shorter side, Phillips reads it well and pulls it with authority over backward square leg

Marco Jansen to Phillips, FOUR, nicely done! 300 up for New Zealand! Shortish delivery on middle and leg, keeps low, Phillips does well to move inside the line and swipes it through backward square leg to pick up a boundary

Ngidi to Mitchell, FOUR, cracking shot! Short and width on offer, Mitchell cashes in and slaps it through point. That travels to the rate of knots and there's no stopping that

Ngidi to Mitchell, FOUR, a chance goes abegging! Slower length ball on off, Mitchell drags the heave towards deep backward square leg. Mulder is perhaps late to pick it up. He runs to his left and waits for it. Dives in front a bit late. The ball goes through his hands and runs away to the fence. The sunrays might have blocked his vision. It's that phase of the day with the shadows visible

Ngidi to Mitchell, SIX, crunched! Mitchell sets himself up with a strong base near the off-stump. Ngidi rolls his fingers on this one and it sits up nicely for Mitchell. He lines it up and swipes it over deep backward square leg for a maximum

Marco Jansen to Mitchell, FOUR, poor delivery and duly punished! Pace on this time and width on offer, Mitchell waits for it, opens the face of his bat and glides it past the left side of short third to get the desired result. Can't afford to bowl there with third man inside the ring. 13 runs off the over

Marco Jansen to Mitchell, FOUR, shot! Slower one but ends up being in the slot outside off, Mitchell shuffles across a bit and lifts it over mid-off to find the fence. Good percentage shot with no protection in the deep there

Rabada to Latham, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Another batter who tries to do something innovative and pays the price for it. Latham premeditates and exposes his stumps as he crouches in his stance and shapes to play the scoop. Rabada keeps it simple. He bowls a seam-up delivery on a good length on middle and off. You miss I hit stuff. Latham is beaten for pace and the ball crashes into the stumps. Good little passage for South Africa this. Latham b Rabada 4(5)

Mulder to Williamson, out Caught by Ngidi!! Falls to the scoop. Full outside off, Williamson shuffles across for the scoop, does not get under it, so no elevation on this and an easy catch to short fine-leg. Williamson struggled early on but made up for it with a fine turnaround. Williamson c Ngidi b Mulder 102(94) [4s-10 6s-2]

Mulder to Williamson, 1 run, full on off, Williamson shuffles across and flicks it to deep mid-wicket

Mulder to Williamson, FOUR, 100 for Williamson. Hat-trick of tons against South Africa in ODIs. His 15th in ODIs. Gets across to this slower-ball off-cutter outside off and then scoops over Klaasen, just a raise of the bat to celebrate, no fuss, no extravagance from the calm Williamson. Phillips and Chapman are thrilled for Williamson

Mulder to Williamson, FOUR, superb. It's a short of length delivery on middle, Williamson makes room and just guides it, what timing on the shot, wide of backward point and into the gap

Maharaj to Williamson, FOUR, no deep mid-wicket and Williamson puts it away. Fetches this from well outside off, does not get hold of the sweep but manages to hit the gap, one bounce over the ropes

Rabada to Ravindra, out Caught by Klaasen!! Rabada ends things. Breaks the stand. Full and wide outside off, the slower-ball off-cutter, Ravindra throws the bat on the drive, thick outside-edge and flies to Klaasen's left. Rabada celebrates with a fist-pump. Ravindra walks off raising his bat. End of a fine knock. Ravindra c Klaasen b Rabada 108(101) [4s-13 6s-1]

Maharaj to Williamson, SIX, there's the slogsweep and it's over wide long-on. It's full just outside off, Williamson goes low and swipes it beautifully for six, moves into the 80s

Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, expensive over this. This is full and following Williamson outside the leg-stump, Williamson makes room and drives it wide of cover, not timed but it's into the gap

Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, innovation from Williamson and the runs are flowing. It's full outside off, Williamson shuffles across and scoops over short fine-leg, manipulated the field so well there

Rabada to Ravindra, FOUR, tries the yorker length delivery but around leg-stump or even outside the leg-stump, Ravindra flicks it through backward square-leg and it's into the gap, short fine was inside the ring

Rabada to Ravindra, 2 runs, yet another 100 for Ravindra in ODIs - and all have come in ICC tournaments. He is the next batting superstar in the making. It's a length delivery on leg-stump, tucked wide of mid-wicket and easy two as he gets back. Out comes the helmet and a raise of the bat, acknowledges the applause. A fine knock this

Ngidi to Ravindra, no run, South Africa lose a review. A slower-ball off-cutter and it cuts away from off, Ravindra gets forward to defend and the cut away beats the outside-edge, Klaasen dives forward to take it, he was the one who was confident but a flat line on UltraEdge

Markram to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson now taking risks. Just wide of the outstretched right hand on the dive from cover. It's tossed up on a length outside off, Williamson makes room and lofts, gets it away for four, mid-off was inside too

Ngidi to Williamson, 1 run, tough chance and Klaasen can't catch it. It's the slower-ball off-cutter outside off, Williamson goes for a big drive, the thick outside-edge is found, Klaasen dives to his right with an outstretched right hand but the ball does not stick

Markram to Williamson, FOUR, he found backward point last over off the same shot against Markram, this time well wide of the fielder, it's on leg-stump, Williamson gets on top of the reverse-sweep and it runs away to the deep backward point fence

Markram to Williamson, 2 runs, 50 for Williamson. His 48th in ODIs. He comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, gets very lucky as the flick lands short of the onrushing Rassie from deep mid-wicket, just a raise of the bat to celebrate

Maharaj to Williamson, SIX, that's the class of Williamson. He steps out and then gets outside off, just a mere flick against the spin and no-one at deep mid-wicket and it's all the way too, what a fine shot, technically so good

Maharaj to Ravindra, FOUR, streaky but Ravindra enjoys the slice of luck. It's tossed up outside off, lands and goes straight on, Ravindra steps out and lofts, the thick outside-edge just goes wide of Klaasen's gloves and sneaks away

Maharaj to Ravindra, SIX, now over long-on. This time he gets to the pitch of the ball as he steps out and then lofts cleanly and over long-on's head, 10 off the last two balls

Maharaj to Ravindra, FOUR, again he is not to the pitch of the ball as he comes down the track, but goes through with the loft, hits it straight down the ground and wide of long-on, Maharaj smiles wryly, he knows he beat Ravindra in the flight and the length

Maharaj to Ravindra, FOUR, a half-volley outside off, mid-off is inside and Ravindra gets forward and drives wide of cover and mid-off, runs away

Mulder to Ravindra, FOUR, third boundary of the over. From round the wicket, fullish just outside off, Ravindra gets forward and drives and easily beats mid-on to his right, driven so well with a nice high elbow

Mulder to Ravindra, FOUR, there's the front foot pull. It's a good length on middle, Ravindra gets forward and pulls over mid-wicket, nearly all the way, just bounces before the ropes

Mulder to Williamson, 1 run, short of length outside off, Williamson goes on the back foot and works it to deep backward square-leg

Mulder to Ravindra, FOUR, 50 for Ravindra. Poor ball with short fine-leg in, slower-ball down leg, Ravindra pulls and gets it away from the fielder at short fine

Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, finally Williamson gets one away. It's a half-volley and angled in on the pads, flicked between mid-wicket and mid-on

Mulder to Ravindra, FOUR, Ravindra eases the pressure of the dots. It's a short of length delivery angling into off, Ravindra gets forward and pulls over mid-wicket, stand and deliver

Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, nicely done. It's a short of length delivery just outside off, Williamson is always in control, opens the face of the bat and runs it down, beats the diving Klaasen, it bounced in front of Klaasen who got a little glove on it, but it slips away

Ngidi to Williamson, FOUR, no chance for Miller this time. Length delivery outside off, Williamson gets forward and drives on the rise, slightly open face and it races between backward point and point

Rabada to Williamson, 1 run, short of length on off, angled in, Williamson opens the face of the bat and guides it wide of backward point for one, is off the mark

Ngidi to Will Young, out Caught by Markram!! The slower-ball works. Will Young knew as soon as he hit that, he was gone. Slams the bat on the turf in frustration. It's full the off-cutter outside off, Young gets forward to loft but it's right off the bottom of the bat, straight up and a dolly to Markarm at mid-off. Ngidi flashes that brilliant smile of his. Will Young c Markram b Ngidi 21(23) [4s-3]

Marco Jansen to Ravindra, FOUR, this is superb batting. Ian Smith on air calls him "what a talent", this is the best of the lot, short of length delivery outside off, Ravindra gets forward and punches it on the rise, great timing and no chance for Bavuma to his right at mid-off

Marco Jansen to Ravindra, FOUR, another strong area of his. Length delivery on middle, Ravindra whips it through vacant mid-wicket and it races away, what wristwork

Marco Jansen to Ravindra, FOUR, he is so good there, hint of width outside off, length delivery outside off, Ravindra always wants to come on the front foot, drills the drive wide of short cover and a packed off-side field. Marco Jansen just rolled his fingers over that ball

Marco Jansen to Will Young, FOUR, this short deliveries are not working at all, it is on the body, Will Young swivels and pulls to the deep backward square-leg fence, beats the fielder easily

Ngidi to Ravindra, FOUR, nicely put away. Too straight and on a fullish length, Ravindra flicks through mid-wicket which is open and it runs away for four

Ngidi to Will Young, FOUR, still width from Ngidi and Will Young puts him away. It's a short of length delivery outside off, Will Young punches it wide of backward point and point, into the gap

Marco Jansen to Ravindra, FOUR, smashed for four. Ravindra has had enough of the short ball, it is outside off, he comes on the front foot and pulls hard over square-leg, no-one there and it runs away

Ngidi to Will Young, FOUR, thick top-edge and it flies over the leaping Jansen at a wide slip. It's a short of length delivery outside off, Will Young slashes and the thick edge flies away
