Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, FOUR, this guy can get rampant. KG hasn't had a good tournament apart from the West Indies game and he's not having

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, SIX, Tim Seifert will not spare slot balls. KG bowls a poor ball and Seifert punishes him long and hard over long-on. South Africa feeling the heat already

Corbin Bosch to Finn Allen, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket
5.1
Corbin Bosch to Finn Allen, SIX, flays at it and it sails over backward point. Goes all the way too. Short of a length delivery moving away, Allen goes hard, slices it square on the off-side and it disappears

Corbin Bosch to Finn Allen, FOUR, make that 22 off the over with a ball to go. Another edge that goes past short third man. Sure New Zealand have been lucky but this is just poor stuff in a semifinal. Full and outside off stump, Allen throws everything at it and gets it to the right of short third man
5.4
Corbin Bosch to Finn Allen, FOUR, it's a slot ball in the name of trying a yorker and it's belted down the ground past the stumps at the non-striker's end. Have South Africa already given up? They body language isn't positive at all.
5.3
Corbin Bosch to Finn Allen, FOUR, thick edge and it escapes over short third man. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Allen swings hard, edge goes for four more. South Africa have no clue how to dismiss this pair

That is the definition of a batting Power Play!
NZ need less than a run a ball now. Boundaries are just bonus at this point.
