This is going to be a great match but South Africa are favourites.

i believe they are not!!!, they aren't in the best of form and south africa's tendency to choke can really give us a chance to win here.

 

[sami ullah khan]

New Zealand choke just as much. Besides, this is not semifinal. South Africa will give kiwis a run for their money. I expect it to be a close contest.

 

[irottev]

SA favorites purely based on the fact that they're a more dominant nation. They're auto faves. Doesn't mean they're the better side though. Should be a good game.

Lucky, that was a really close shout

angryangy added 0 Minutes and 30 Seconds later...

Yeah, I would have given that out.

angryangy added 2 Minutes and 45 Seconds later...

It's probably favourable for NZ to have Gibbs in the middle anyway. When was the last time he score any decent runs?

 

[MUFC1987]

Under-estimating Gibbs.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

well timed wicket for NZ but I like the way SA have batted here. needs a finish though.

 

[Dabi]

I mus say, that was a very Pakistani drop!

Dabi added 6 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

That is some brutal hitting!

 

[Dutch]

Kiwi's losing the plot here a bit...nice last over from Bond though....

 

[Brook]

What is with this trying to run byes when the ball goes straight to the keeper? I hate it.

 

[pcfan123]

Have to back SA to win it after that performance, their pace bowling attack is miles better than NZ so the powerplay overs will be crucial here.

Come on kiwis! Send Taylor out earlier to face the pace.

You gotta try it at the end, there wasn't much to lose.

It's not that much better... I mean obviously Steyn but Morne is hit and miss and it's average after that. Anything could happen if Ryder, McCullum or Taylor get going.

 

[pcfan123]

Nah, I could not disagree more. I think Morne Morkel is one of the most underrated bowlers in cricket today.
