poor them, they r used to losing in icc tournaments uff

We were like that as well na inbtw.. Back to back losses..

Their comeback will be stronger than us..

SA lost this in the last 10 overs with the ball and first 10 overs with the bat.

Gave away 80 odd runs in the last 6 overs, and then made only 56 in powerplay when they needed to be 80-90 to give the middle order a bit of a cushion before Santner and Bracewell started.

Bavuma partly responsible (only player with SR less than 80); also thought they could've promoted Miller ahead to keep a LHB-RHB combo ticking in the middle overs.

Yesim used to it

Congratulations to New Zealand team for their clinical win against South Africa.

Instead of choking in the final against us, unfortunately, SA choked a bit early.

South Africa have lost yet another semi-final in an ICC event. South Africa's association with knockout games in ICC events has given them a lot of bitter memories, and today has been no different. The Kiwis won an important toss on a flat surface, and their batters responded impressively to the decision. Centuries from Rachin and Williamson gave NZ a momentum boost and that is what is needed in crunch games.

David Miller's celebration for his newborn after his century was lovely

I am glad SA played all 50 overs

Though there was middle order collapse they showed some posotive intent

NZ scored 362 runs

3+6-2 = 7

Thala for a reason
