00:14Sights and sounds of Ahmedabad as we arrive here for a very important match in Pool D.
00:23A little bit of New Zealand thrown in as well. It is New Zealand against South Africa.
00:33Aidan Markram and Mitchell Santner in a very intriguing match.
00:40Informed players, the toss was held a short time ago and it was won by South Africa.
00:46Aidan Markram deciding he'd like to bowl first.
00:49Allen and Seifer have been going great going seven at the top of the order.
00:52Ratchan Ravindra needs a score. He really does.
00:55Tonight would be a great occasion.
00:57Glenn Phillips has been in top form.
00:59There's Chapman while Mitchell's undoubted.
01:01And so Santner for that matter.
01:02Nisha matched to the batting strength at eight.
01:04Then Henry, Ferguson, Duffy.
01:06That's the top three in terms of the bowling.
01:08South Africa.
01:08Yeah, Markram, Dukat, Crickleton all have been in amongst the runs.
01:11Maybe wanting a few more from him.
01:13And then fresh off the performance in those super overs,
01:16Miller and Stubbs will be very confident about what they managed to do.
01:19Janssen, good with the bat, good with the ball.
01:21And Bosch is introduced in place of Linda.
01:23Rabada, Maharaj and Engedi.
01:25Big role to play.
01:26South Africa, of course, were rocked.
01:29They were favourites to beat Afghanistan.
01:30They took them to the wire three times, really.
01:33It's Tim Seifert and Phil Allen.
01:35And Tim Seifert has been in rear-knuck.
01:37These two, of course, broke the partnership record for all T20 World Cubs.
01:45And for this man, he has been outstanding in this tournament.
01:49Longy Engedi so far.
01:53Up and fine, is it?
01:55Down for four.
01:56Yes, it is.
01:57He got the edge.
01:59But unfortunately for Longy Engedi, it's not the edge he was after.
02:01He was after a slightly fainter one to take it to the slip or wiki keeper.
02:05And it flies away.
02:07First ball, boundary time.
02:11Wide that time.
02:13And that'll be one bounce four.
02:16And just going with the shape.
02:18Allen not trying to control it or hit it down at all.
02:21Just keeps that bat face open.
02:25There's no one back for that one.
02:27That's the best shot so far.
02:28The most conclusive.
02:29That wasn't part of the plan.
02:31I think they were trying to discuss something else.
02:33But look how wide that is.
02:34That was right on the wide line.
02:36Phil Allen says, thank you very much.
02:37I can't believe my luck.
02:38The length I'm after.
02:39The width I'm after.
02:41The width I'm after.
02:42There's another one.
02:43But this one has disappeared.
02:45This one ain't getting no wickets.
02:46It's just getting Voyager miles.
02:49That is just absolutely out of the middle of the bat.
02:52A full swing of a very powerful young man.
02:57Oh man, that must have felt good.
03:03This time.
03:04Perfection.
03:05What a huge over for New Zealand.
03:06It really has been a beauty.
03:12Well, not that occasion.
03:14That's straight down the ground for six.
03:16There's been a couple of those management meetings.
03:18South Africa trying to come up with plans.
03:19Obviously, as you go into this encounter, you've got ideas.
03:22You've watched footage.
03:23You've thought, what can we or can't we do to try and make sure they don't get off to fly?
03:27Well, they've changed the field now after that committee meeting.
03:29No one back on the offside.
03:34No touch, yes indeed there is.
03:36Quite a healthy one as well.
03:38As he looked to access the offside and the bounce stood for him.
03:43A good pace.
03:44A good rate of knots.
03:45A little feather of an edge.
03:47Easy catch for Quinjan de Kock in the end in South Africa.
03:49You can see what it means to the captain.
03:50South Africa goes for 13.
03:53Good start for New Zealand.
03:5433-4.
03:56Need to score.
03:57Does Ratch and Ravundro.
04:00Oh, boy.
04:02Now, he's got to get this.
04:03He's got to get all of it.
04:04He does.
04:06Stubbs was waiting.
04:07The ball's been following him.
04:09And it is six.
04:10They practice this so much, Smitty.
04:12The field is on the fence.
04:13So they're pretty aware of where the boundary cushion is.
04:16And they're very aware of what they have to do to try and keep it in.
04:19And that was going through Stubbs' mind.
04:21He was sitting there waiting.
04:22Can I?
04:23Can I?
04:23Can I hold on to it and pop it back into the field of play?
04:26Then he thought, can I just grab it and throw it back?
04:28Couldn't do either.
04:32Oh, that's lovely.
04:34Into the crowd for six.
04:36Better option for the left hand or against the left arm
04:38using that little bit of angle coming back in.
04:41Ravundro gets well and truly inside of it
04:42with fine leg and third up inside the circle.
04:46He's got a deep backward point and a deep backward square.
04:52Excellent grab.
04:53David Miller in the action again.
04:57This again.
04:58Ravundro going hard at it.
04:59Look how hard he goes at that.
05:02Miller.
05:02That superb movement away to his right.
05:07Grasps the hands around it.
05:09Ravundro.
05:10His lean run continues.
05:13Just 13.
05:1457 for two.
05:22Another catch.
05:24Oh, how disappointing for Finn Allen.
05:28Takes pace off and it's floated right up there.
05:30He cannot get underneath it.
05:32Back turns in the hands.
05:34Great hands.
05:35Aidan Markram.
05:35He's always had terrific hands,
05:37whether it be in the slip or in the field.
05:39Dealing in wickets.
05:40Indeed.
05:40That's three for Jansen.
05:41Inside of two overs.
05:42Fin Allen gone now for 31.
05:43It's 58 for three.
05:46Mark Chapman in at five.
05:53He's across the line.
05:54This Chapman so well played for four.
06:00Bowling.
06:02Keshav Maharaj gets through.
06:03Glenn Phillips.
06:05Timber rattles here and over the bat.
06:07Just got a little loose on this Phillips.
06:10Look at the gap between bat and pad and the angle of the bat.
06:12That's the issue there.
06:13The angle of the bat.
06:16It's completely wrong.
06:17As Phillips goes cheaply as well.
06:20New Zealand in trouble.
06:2164 for four.
06:23New Zealand have lost a three for seven.
06:25It brings Daryl Mitchell out to the middle.
06:29Done by the pace.
06:31Not there.
06:32Not for Chapman.
06:33He picked that up beautifully over mid wicket.
06:36Well, we've spoken about this surface.
06:38That's so good for batting.
06:40And once you are able to get the measure of it,
06:42which he has quite early in his innings.
06:49He's launched that.
06:51And that is an excellent effort from Daryl Bravis.
06:55He's disappointed because he thought he had it.
06:57And I think it went into the hands.
06:59Just have a look.
07:00He makes terrific ground.
07:02He's quick across the park.
07:03Watch the ball go in.
07:04It goes into that right hand,
07:06but he cannot grasp it.
07:10Oh, great shot.
07:12Talk about you, but no worry about there.
07:17A little change of pace.
07:20Not quite in the time.
07:22It's a smart bowling.
07:24Yeah, and that's one of the areas that you're going to lose out on as a bowler.
07:27If you opt to have that car corner.
07:30A little change of pace.
07:31Just a little bit too full.
07:32Probably.
07:33Good shot by Mitchell.
07:34Going over middle.
07:39Fetch this.
07:40It's got wings on it.
07:43A little bit of dew.
07:44The ball's going to skid on.
07:46It's not a slog.
07:47It's just a straight bat hit.
07:49He's a very, very powerful man.
07:5188 meters.
07:54Oh, not now.
07:56Chapman says left-hander, right-on-wolf spinner does not matter.
08:01Well, Chapman says, I'm going to join the party too.
08:04Very sweet sound from Mark Chapman's blade.
08:10Short and pumped.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Just a little skimmer.
08:14Well picked up from Mark Chapman.
08:16Slow ball bouncer perhaps.
08:18Yup.
08:18Just roll these fingers on it.
08:19But too much leg side.
08:21Chapman's just gone with it.
08:22He's used what pace the ball has to offer.
08:25Just skids on.
08:31Left-handers.
08:33And the elegance.
08:34With a flashing blade behind point here from Chapman.
08:39That allows Chapman.
08:40You can see the open blade.
08:41He's already standing there with that open blade.
08:44Third man and pointer up.
08:48Getting edge.
08:49Gone.
08:49He's going to miss out on the half-century.
08:53Another change of pace.
08:54This by Marco Jansson has just held on Chapman.
08:57You can see he's gone through the shot too early.
09:00It's a good catch by Rickleton.
09:02As he looks up he points at the lights.
09:04It's a good knock by Mark Chapman.
09:06He's unfortunately won't get his 50.
09:0848 of 26.
09:09New Zealand.
09:10138 for five.
09:15And it will be Mitchell who's hurt down long on Strode.
09:18He has.
09:19And that's all about dot ball pressure at the other end.
09:23And this over has started well.
09:25Fingy just the single off the first two.
09:27Mitchell says I'll take matters into my own hands.
09:30You can just see on the angle.
09:31It hits the inside edge of the bat.
09:33The bat turns just a touch.
09:34So the contact.
09:35Not what he's after.
09:36Safe hands of Stubbs.
09:38Decently needs 32 of 24.
09:40141 for six now.
09:43Jaminisha minute eight.
09:49I don't think this is going to carry far enough.
09:51South Africa brilliant in the outfield.
09:54Really good.
09:55Safe hands again.
09:57You can see how the bat face is open.
10:00It looked initially when it came off the bat like it was going to land in no man's land and
10:04be safe.
10:04But Rickleton made some good grounds.
10:06A little lean from Corbin Bosch to make sure that the fielder gets there.
10:10Three wickets in short succession.
10:12Four of ten deliveries.
10:14145 for seven.
10:16Matt Henry in at nine.
10:19That'll go for four.
10:21First one for a while.
10:22A lucky one.
10:24Hit the back of a length.
10:26Got the third man in position, but flies away.
10:30Two bounces into the fence.
10:34They'll get a bit here.
10:36That's quite cleverly played by Nisham.
10:39Yeah, that's a very good shot.
10:41Moves into position early.
10:42Probably think that Janssen's not going to target the stumps.
10:45And with the extra bounce, he kind of bank on being able to get underneath it.
10:49Banged in short.
10:50Janssen might have just adjusted his length just to touch when he saw him move around.
10:54But Nisham equal to it.
10:58Slightly over tossed.
11:00Nisham might get this one.
11:01He does get this one for four.
11:03Robada can't run it down.
11:05It's been a real wonderful over.
11:07If he can finish with a good last delivery.
11:09You can see once again some shape back into the stumps.
11:12Even though it's that cross seam delivery.
11:15Does Robada get to it?
11:17Yeah, just got a little hand on it.
11:22Down the ground for four.
11:23One bounce and Jimmy Nisham goes back to back at the end.
11:27And he'll finish with 23 off 15.
11:30And New Zealand, in their 20 overs, having been asked about first, finish at 175 for seven.
11:38So we'll just see if my 76 8.8 runs per over because I think South Africa have done a
11:44brilliant job.
11:51Henry managed to shape the ball just a little bit away.
11:53They'll be challenging that outside and inside edge of Aidan Markham.
11:57And then Quinton the cock.
11:59All right.
11:59First ball of the chase.
12:01176 required.
12:05Yeah, on the money straight away.
12:10As is Markham off and running with a lovely square drive.
12:18No, really a bad ball.
12:20Not really a bad ball.
12:22Maybe a little bit of width to be fair.
12:24Shaping away.
12:25But Aidan Markham is so good on the cover drive.
12:27Hits it on the up.
12:32Through covers this time.
12:35Get some more fielders across.
12:36That is beautiful for Markham.
12:40The length to kind of hit it through points on this occasion.
12:43Slightly over pitch.
12:44So you're all conventional cover drive.
12:46No one there.
12:50Down the ground.
12:51And that'll race away.
12:53I think for four.
12:54And that'll bring up 3,000 international T20 runs for Quinton to cock becomes the 13th player.
13:03Now this is a classic half volley.
13:05He's kind of hit it in the air.
13:07Almost presenting half a chance for Henry.
13:09But like a lazy cover drive this by Quinton to cock.
13:14Six.
13:15And a gorgeous six over extra cover for Markham.
13:18For four arms of his.
13:19He's never looking to keep it down.
13:22It's whips.
13:25No chance.
13:26Once he saw the ball delivered he knew.
13:28Two.
13:28It's the lofted cover drive.
13:33Oh.
13:34As is that from Quinny.
13:36Quinton to cock.
13:37Quinton to cock just.
13:40Leaning into a perfect cover drive.
13:42It's almost a throw down.
13:43A fast throw down.
13:45Look at that.
13:45Just stand there and pose Quinny.
13:49Goes straight.
13:51Times it well.
13:53Might be all the way it is.
13:55I think it was a slower ball.
13:57It was a slight change of pace.
13:59Markham in incredible form again holding that shape of his.
14:03He sees it early again.
14:04Look at that blade.
14:06Up and over.
14:09And again that's the one you're talking about Dale staying on the up.
14:13It's gone a little further.
14:15That is one of the best and most beautiful cricket shots you can play.
14:20Sheer power.
14:23Oh my word.
14:29Fine for four.
14:30Given the benefit here.
14:32Aidan Markham.
14:33I think he was looking to angle it down that way.
14:36Picks up four more.
14:38Duffy's just dragged his length back here.
14:40He doesn't want to get hit back over his head.
14:41Two sixes going back over his head.
14:43So Markham giving himself room.
14:48Fine for four.
14:49Leg side this time.
14:52Pull shot now.
14:54Man out there.
14:55Cannot get there.
14:57Pace is not bothering the cock either.
14:59You can see it's a full flow of the arms.
15:04Ratchin Ravinder doing everything he can out there.
15:06But not enough.
15:09Pulls again.
15:10And all the way.
15:12Yes it is.
15:13Short side doesn't matter.
15:16Taking the risk here.
15:17Matt Henry.
15:18It's good.
15:18It's high.
15:19It's exactly where he needs it.
15:22But the cock has got all of that.
15:24It's not a big six.
15:26But it's to the short side.
15:2766 meters.
15:31Bowled him.
15:32Slower ball.
15:33Dukok threw the shot early.
15:35A little bit of respite for New Zealand.
15:38Ferguson picks one up.
15:39Ferguson.
15:39He's a wicket taker.
15:41It's the little leg cutter.
15:43It's a slower ball.
15:44Dukok.
15:45It's full.
15:45His eyes lit up.
15:47And he's missed it.
15:48And Ferguson has struck.
15:50Quinta Dukok.
15:51He's gone for 20.
15:52South Africa.
15:5362 for one.
15:56Ryan Rickleton.
16:00Finds the gap again.
16:02And this will race across the turf for four more.
16:08Well, it is.
16:09And there's more of it.
16:13Well, they can keep hoping.
16:15Because that'll be it.
16:18The length too full.
16:20Just pops it over the top.
16:22We're going to have a look and see whether it's carried or not.
16:26It's close to the cushion.
16:27What is it?
16:28Grouse first?
16:29We'll have to slow that one down just a touch.
16:32Thank you, Roly.
16:36Oh!
16:39Pick the bones out of this one!
16:42Talk about Emox!
16:45Whoa!
16:45If it wasn't such a massive stadium, you could say the Kookaburra departs the stadium.
16:50But it's a huge stadium.
16:52That's got to be over 100 meters.
16:54It was right off the middle.
16:55Change-up went length.
16:56And you almost got the feeling Rickerton was waiting for it.
16:59103 meters.
17:00Well, it's not the longest.
17:01There's been, I think, 108 to 109.
17:07And there we go.
17:10The ball light.
17:11But there you have it.
17:12What a 50 from Aiden Markram.
17:17A punch of the glove there from Rickleton.
17:19Good stuff.
17:20Yeah, they're up in the dressing room in the dugout.
17:23And so they should be.
17:24What a fantastic 50.
17:2619 balls.
17:28In the slot.
17:30Overpitched.
17:31Aiden Markram just waiting for that one.
17:3278 meters.
17:33Didn't quite get it out the middle.
17:35But hit it well enough.
17:37Equals the fastest 50 of the tournament.
17:44And again, the placement.
17:46Exquisite.
17:48From the skipper.
17:51Now there.
17:56Oh.
17:57Mitchell.
17:59Yeah.
18:00Didn't quite have enough on it for Rickleton.
18:03Big Daryl Mitchell.
18:06Leg cutter.
18:07Maybe a little bit taken off it.
18:08Just through his shot.
18:09Hits the bottom of the bat.
18:11So maybe not the most power.
18:12But he's still backing himself.
18:14Mitchell.
18:15Steady's himself.
18:16Pops it up in the air.
18:19There's the Fred Astaire.
18:20Gets the feet sorted.
18:21Jumps in.
18:22Ooh.
18:22Went a little bit to the left.
18:24Has to make some ground.
18:25And covers it comfortably.
18:27Just making sure that there's no contact with the cushion.
18:34That's all good.
18:35There's no touch in there.
18:37And Rickleton has to be on his way.
18:39Played nasty for his 21.
18:41South Africa lose their second.
18:43102 on the ball.
18:44Errol Mitchell.
18:45And it's time for Young Revis.
18:50Oh.
18:51And.
18:53Oh, is that Phillips?
18:54That is Phillips.
18:55And I just wondered if he got a fingertip to it.
18:57And if he'd been a little bit further back towards the boundary.
19:01I reckon he could have pulled off another screamer.
19:03And as a fielder you position yourself in.
19:06Particularly to the new batter.
19:07You're not thinking he's going to take you on and whop it over your head.
19:10And Phillips nearly got it.
19:17Pump down the ground.
19:20And he's onto that so quickly.
19:22Diavel Brevis.
19:27Rocks back.
19:31Such a good shot.
19:33It's a shot that.
19:34Blacks of Heinrich class and made his own.
19:37Last few years and some of these young players will have been watching on.
19:40I'm sure.
19:44It's high up in the air.
19:46Daryl Mitchell steadies himself.
19:48And holds on to the catch.
19:52Diavel Brevis' short stay at the crease has ended.
19:56Mitchell once again in the action.
20:00It's not necessary.
20:02Bowled it slower.
20:03Held it back.
20:04But he was coming and he didn't have a bailout.
20:05There was nothing.
20:06No other option.
20:09We need you to have some time at the crease.
20:11Not tonight.
20:1121 of 17.
20:12On 31 for three.
20:14David Miller.
20:20That might just find a gap.
20:22It does.
20:24Precision placement from Markram.
20:28And that might just find a gap.
20:29Again, a change of pace.
20:31Slightly short.
20:32Those forearms doing all the work.
20:33Power pull.
20:35Finds the gap.
20:36Glen Phillips.
20:37He's quick, but not quick enough.
20:4022 from 28 and South Africa have been kind to New Zealand here.
20:45They've known they've got this game under control.
20:47and it's just a case of confirming it placement again superb Davey Miller on
20:57this occasion pretty much the exact same delivery slower ball bouncer Miller just
21:03pausing on his shot there for a second step pause and then power and placement
21:17oh no no no can't get any worse can it it's the captain with the throw and no one
21:25was at home backing up yeah this is unfortunate because as the throw came
21:32down it just looked like one of South Africans about as may have just blocked
21:36Seifert's view there he should have stopped that he should have done better
21:40I don't think Mitchell or finnellen who dived afterwards was expecting the
21:47ball to come there David Miller just moving out the way on the last second
21:51it's unfortunate there's the end of the game with a very very big statement from
22:00David Miller lucky Ferguson just brushes the air back and says well then quite
22:07expect that but smiles on the faces of South Africa because they have given New
22:12Zealand a lesson here tonight there's no doubt about it and they can match
22:17on now with a lot of confidence yeah a real good statement wouldn't this by
22:22South Africa led by aiden mark from 86 not out of 44 David Miller came in with
22:28the final touches 24 or 17 but it was the captain's innings that really took off
22:33here is the last shot from David Miller pace off delivery from Lockie Ferguson and
22:40that's not a bad way to finish the game that feels really good off the bat face a long
22:45way back here and I made a bad and this is the batting card of the South Africans 86
22:51stands out there for South Africa captain Markham the cock got off to a good start
22:5620 of 14 and then little cameos by Rickleton and Brevis 21 each and then David
23:02Miller just not the first time he's won a game with a six finishing with 24 of 17
