NEW ZELAND VS SOUTH AFRICA

DESCRIPTION :- 

Welcome Back once again!! 

What a match was between New Zeland and South Africa. South Africa had won the toss and elected to bat first. A slow start from South Africa in their innings. But Rossouw and Faf du Plesis handles the innings and did a great partnership of more than 50 runs.After 38 overs rain stops play and delayed the match for a long time. Now the match was reduced to 43 overs from each side. After 43 overs South Africa had scored 281 runs for 5 wickets. Due to D/L method the score was revived to 297 runs and New Zeland need 298 runs in 43 overs. 

New Zeland openers (Martin Guptill and Brendon Maccullum) came on the ground to chase such a big target. But no one knows that how Maccullum will bat. Maccullum stuns everybody sitting in the stadium and people who was watching T.V. He scored massive 59 runs in just 26 balls. This had created a solid stone for New Zeland to chase such a big target. After this Williamson didn't able to score much runs and out just by scoring 6 runs. Now taylor and Guptill made a big partership but after sometime due to miss-understanding between them Guptill loses his crucial wicket as run out. Such a drastic change for Kiwis!! At last moment of the game South Africa loses many chances of run-out and catches. Due to the great innings of Anderson and Elliot South Africa loses another opportunity of playing the world cup final and New Zeland became the first team of entering the ICC Cricket World Cup - 2015!!
