SA Win by 190 runs as Coetzee gets Phillips out. NZ are bowled out for 167.
Phillips reducing deficit now more than anything. He has completed a fifty but only playing for the Net run rate (NRR) are the Kiwis, at the moment. reached the milestone in 46 balls with a 4, 6 and 6 off successive balls off Maharaj.
Maharaj adds to his wickets tally and has a chance to complete a fifter now with his fourth wicket reducing NZ to 133/9 after 30.2 Overs. Trent Boult departing on that occasion for 9 off 14.
What a day Maharaj is having as he now sends back Neesham without a duck. Through the gap between bat and pad and NZ are 110/8 after 26.4 Overs.
And another one, it's coming to a rather quick end now. Southee falls for 7 off 11, caught LBW right in front of the stumps NZ- 109/7 after 25.1 Overs. Third wicket of the match for Jansen.
Second wicket for Maharaj. This time he has beaten Santner and the ball has gone on to hit the stumps. NZ- 100/6 after 22.4 Overs.
Santner the new batter in for the Kiwis. New Zealand should try and get as close to their target as possible as the net run rate can prove to be crucial.
Time for Keshav Maharaj to get a wicket in his first over itself. Mitchell had a sighter the first two balls and then decided to take the bowler on but the ploy wasn't successful as he failed to get the desired connection and got caught at long off. NZ- 90/5 after 18.3 Overs.
Glenn Phillips New Man in for the BlackCaps. Massive, massive task ahead of him.
That's another wicket! Kagiso Rabada strikes and this time it's Tom Latham who has to walk back as his leading edge has been caught at mid on. Surely South Africa's game to lose this from here as NZ are reduced to 67/4 after 15.2 Overs.
Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham are the two Kiwi batters in the middle at the moment. Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada operating from the two ends as of now. END OF OVER 13. NZ- 62/3.
Not going as per the script at all as the Kiwis lose their third wicket. After the early fall of Conway, Ravindra also fell to Jansen as he hit one straight to fine leg. Not much after, Will Young also walked back to the pavilion as he edges on Gerald Coetzee delivery straight to the keeper. South Africa right on top. NZ- 56/3 after 10.3 Overs.
Rachin Ravindra has joined Young in the middle. Lungi Ngidi and Jansen have bowled 4 overs each. After 8 overs, NZ- 38/1. They need 320 runs from 42 overs to win it from here.
Devon Conway and Will Young would have ideally liked to spend some time at the wicket but their stay was cut short with Jansen getting rid of Conway early. Extra bit of bounce for Jansen and Conway has edged that to the slip cordan. NZ- 8/1 after 3 overs.
What a batting display once again by the Proteas led by centuries from Van der Dussen 133 off 118 and a fourth hundred in this World Cup from De Kock who finished with 114 off 116. A 29-ball fifty from David Miller was just the need of the hour at the death and even Aiden Markram finished with a strike rate of 600, depositing the solitary ball he got to face for a six to end the innings. New Zealand were hurt by the absence of Matt Henry who had to walk off the field injured after bowling just 5.3 overs. Southee did pick up 2 wickets but went for 77 while Boult picked 1 for 49. New Zealand are very well capable of chasing this down as they did show against Australia where they almost chased down 389, falling short of Austalia's total by 5 runs.
18 runs and a wicket off the final over which had to be bowled by Neesham and South Africa finish at 357/4 at the end of their 50-overs quota.
It looked like a fairly over despite a boundary by Miller but for that six off the last ball. It's who else but Klaasen who gets a maximum on that slightly overpitched ball.
Boult Bowling The 49th over. Players of the highest level of skills at both ends. What a contest.
Boult Bowling The 49th over. Players of the highest level of skills at both ends. What a contest.
Heinrich Klaasen, the man with the highest strike rate this World Cup, walks in with bit under 3 overs remaining.
That's probably the best start to the final 3 for Kiwis. They get rid Of Van Der Dussen for 133 off 118. Southee once again, this time it's a slower ball that has gon on to hit the top off off stump. SA- 316/3 after 47.1 Overs.
SA-316/2 after 47 overs. 18 legal deliveries remaining. How many more can they get?
A hundred for Rassie van der Dussen too and the South African batters are upping the ante and how. He is joined by David Miller and South Africa have gone past the 300-run mark in the 46th over.
There's the wicket! Can New Zealand find a way to come back in the final ten? Southee gets rid of the Protan centurion who falls for 114 off 116. NZ- 238/2 after 40 overs.
Fourth World Cup 2023 hundred for Quinton de Kock. He has set the stage on fire with his performance and with his knock, South Africa look in total control of the proceedings in Pune.
Fifty For Van Der Dussen too and the hundred of the stand has also come up. The batters, almost anytime now, can now look to up the ante with plenty of overs left in the innings and all nine wickets remaining in the tank.
Yet Another fifty for De Kock. What a tournament he is having. All his World Cup hundreds have come this year and he looks set for another one. Rassie van der Dussen looking in pretty good nick too.
Post the dismissal of Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and De Kock have built a good partnership so far. They have added 45 off 57 already. The score moves to 83/1 after 18 overs. 5 New Zealand bowlers used already.
Rassie van Der Dussen comes in at 3 for South Africa.
Trent Boult has found a way to break the partnership. He has tempted the South African skipper to play the drive. The ball has done enough to find the edge which has gone to the slip cordan. SA-38/1 after 8.3 Overs as Bavuma departs for 24 off 28.
Boult & Henry The New Ball Bowlers for the Kiwis but the Proteas openers have been pretty solid so far. Not a brisk start but no damage done either. After 7 overs, SA- 29/0.
de Kock and Bavuma have started batting. Boult bowled the first over.
Temba Bavuma: We were looking to bowl first as well. Pitch looks a bit dry, could skid on later under lights. Kagiso Rabada comes in for Shamsi. We want to run with the momentum. Was not our clinical display last game but it was important to get those key moments to cross the line.
Tom Latham: We are going to bowl, reasonably good surface. Potential dew later on. One change, Tim Southee comes in for Lockie Ferguson. Guys are confident around the group. They have been playing fantastic cricket, going to be a good game today.
