The Cricket action continues...
New Zealand were too strong for an uncertain South Africa side, winning by five wickets with 10 balls left.The result puts the Kiwis and Sri Lanka into the World Cup semi-finals, and means Tuesday's England v South Africa match is a virtual quarter-final.
New Zealand were fortunate to win an important toss, as they profited from some lavish swing and seam movement early on to limit the Proteas to 193-7.
And South Africa were well below par in the field, dropping four catches.
Stephen Fleming hit 50 having been missed by Mark Boucher off Andre Nel on 24.
He was also spilled by South Africa's best fielder Herschelle Gibbs on 36, with Jacques Kallis the unfortunate bowler.

New Zealand is currently involved in (and has a reasonable chance of winning) around 7 international events includin the cricket, the rugby world cup, the americas cup etc and betting odds are that if you put NZ$100 on NZ to win all of them, you could return $1.2Million. It's very tempting and much more likely than winning a lotto ticket.
