Commentary

  • 12.5

    FOUR! Marco Jansen to Finn Allen. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. What a game from New Zealand as they decisively defeat South Africa in the semi-final! Finn Allen and Tim Seifert provided an incredible start, scoring 84 runs in the powerplay. Seifert was out after making 58 runs, but Finn Allen continued to keep the momentum going, hitting eight sixes and dominating the South African bowlers. The South African team will be disheartened by their performance tonight, as they struggled once again in the knockout stage. Finn Allen set a record by becoming the fastest player to score a T20I hundred against a full-member nation, achieving this in just 33 balls. He has also been named Player of the Match.
