Kiwis gets in to Semis - New Zealand Wins Quarter Final Against South Africa

Wickets fallen in New Zealand vs South Africa Match

South Africa were cruising at 108 for 2 in the 25th over when Jacques Kallis played a shot which he shouldn't have played and greenies gold bowled out for 172. 


Kiwis were defending a mare 220 on a pitch which looked like a low score to defend with current reviewd power play systems but managed a easy victory over South Africa which again showd that they are still struggleing to get through Quarters and Semis in world cup history.


Both team played with spin heavy attack which further suggested that asian pitches does not suit much for quick pace bowlers (good for gentle pace bowlers) much...(Which made the downfall of pace heavy Aussies)


It was a day for Jacob Oram, took 4 crusial wickets and 2 catches and he was the man of the match finally....
